Tories 'support Scotland' ... from Chelsea

A Tory fundraising dinner "in support of Scotland" has been mocked after it emerged it is going to be held 350 miles away in a Chelsea mansion.

The Conservative Friends of the Union (CFU) group is charging £750 a head for the event.

Although the Scottish Tories are part of the pro-Union Better Together campaign, CFU is the party's internal group opposing independence.The Edinburgh-based body reportedly has a six-figure war chest and will hold fundraising events.
