West of Scotland MSP Jamie Greene has quit the Scottish Conservatives with immediate effect.
He served as the party's transport, education and justice spokesperson and says he no longer recognises the party he joined under Ruth Davidson's leadership.
The 45-year-old is originally from Greenock and his constituency office is based next to the ferry terminal in Largs.
Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay said:“On a personal level, losing any colleague is disappointing and I wish Jamie well.
“But when I was elected, I promised to take the party in a new direction and said that we needed to be different.
“I promised change and I keep my promises, so I will keep standing up for the common-sense values of mainstream Scotland and opposing the damage caused by Holyrood’s left-wing consensus.
“I’ll continue taking a strong stance against the SNP on tax, gender self-identification, and the damage they’ve done to Scotland’s schools.
“Others may believe it’s best to let the SNP have their way. I will always oppose their dangerous agenda and put forward a proud conservative vision of a different Scotland.”
