Scottish Tory MSP Apologizes for Criticizing Ally's Leadership Campaign in WhatsApp Blunder

Stephen Kerr's private messages about Murdo Fraser's campaign were accidentally posted publicly, causing embarrassment amid the leadership race.

Stephen Kerr described Murdo Fraser's campaign as 'awful' in messages intended to be private.
Kerr expressed regret, stating his comments were taken out of context and reaffirming support for Fraser.
The messages included criticism of Fraser's decision to promote an online meeting with transport spokesperson Graham Simpson.
