LONDON -- Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson has no time for any nonsense.

After sweeping the Edinburgh Central seat from the Scottish National Party (SNP) and leading the Tories to 31 seats, pushing the Labour Party into third place, the Conservative politician received praise from political commentator Andrew Pierce.

"Ruth Davidson triumphs for Tories in Scotland. Another blonde bombshell delivering for Tories. Is she the new Maggie," he wrote, referencing Margaret Thatcher.
