Ruth Davidson is a Writer, Broadcaster and Politician. A former leader of the Scottish Conservative Party, Ruth was the first openly gay leader of a political party in the UK. Her electoral success in Scottish and UK elections – along with her leading roles in the Scottish Independence and Brexit referendums (on the side of staying in both wider unions) – resulted in her being named one of Time Magazine’s people of the year. 

Before politics, Ruth spent a decade as a news journalist, mostly with the BBC, and has written, produced and presented a number of documentaries for radio and television. 

She currently sits as a Conservative Peer in the House of Lords and presents a weekly programme on Times Radio. Ruth is a published author, regular newspaper columnist and frequent television commentator.
