"The interesting thing about her is she is now flexing her muscles and the most interesting thing she is flexing her muscles on is Brexit".
'It is about making sure that we put free trade at the heart of what it is we seek to achieve as we leave'. And that's exactly what the cabinet feel was: "that we will go forward together", Davidson said, after the meeting ended.
Her suggestion after the election that Theresa May "rethink" her Brexit strategy was a barely veiled call to soften up Brexit, echoing anti-democratic Tories like Anna Soubry, who said the election result had made clear that "the country did not vote for a hard Brexit".
Ms Davidson is also among Tories raising concerns about Ms May's potential partner, the DUP, and the party's record on gay rights.
"And also we would use our influence to try and advance LGBT rights in Northern Ireland and they are the assurances that I got". Davidson, who is gay, responded by tweeting a link to a speech she gave on the importance of equal marriage.
The Conservatives are hoping to govern with the support of Northern Ireland's DUP. There were statements from Downing Street that the DUP had agreed to the terms of a so-called confidence and supply deal. Scottish Tory leader Davidson's faction gained 12 seats north of the border, where usually the largest party behind the Scottish National Party is Labour.
Davidson and other senior figures in the Scottish Tories are also considering whether they need to reinforce or increase their independence from the United Kingdom party, after clear differences emerged between them and Conservative headquarters in London over the style and tone of the election campaign.
Superhot VR heading to PSVR this summer
While there isn't much of a story to follow, it's certainly an unabashedly unique and heart-pumping game now out for VR headsets. The game will be out in the coming weeks.
Scotland rejected independence by 55 percent in a 2014 referendum but the SNP went from strength to strength the following year.
How has the election panned out for the four main parties?
The Scottish National Party won 35 of Scotland's 59 seats in Britain's 650-seat parliament in the June 8 election.
But the idea that Davidson is therefore in line to take the reins is ridiculous.
Davidson was elected the party's Scotland leader in 2011.
May called for a snap election in April in order to win a bigger majority for the Conservatives in parliament.
The enthusiasm for her seems fuelled by the unending political-class delusion that in these times of public revolt against the centrist, technocratic status quo, what people are really longing for is a centrist, technocratic, status-quo politician.
