In the United Kingdom, the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative and Unionist Party]] is often colloquially referred to as the ''Tories'', both by themselves and by opponents, and also in the media. Members and voters of the party are also often referred to as "Tories" as well. The [[British Broadcasting Corporation]]'s own [[style guide]] permits the use of the term ''Tory'', although requires the term ''Conservative'' be used in its first instance.<ref name=bbc/>

In [[Scotland]], the term ''Tory'' is used to describe members and supporters of the [[Scottish Conservatives]], or to accuse other parties of being insufficiently opposed to that party. For example, members and supporters of the [[Scottish Labour Party]] (especially those from the "[[Blairism|Blairite]] and [[Brownism|Brownite]]" factions) may be referred to as ''Red Tories'' by traditional Labour members and advocates of an [[independent Scotland]] such as members and supporters of the [[Scottish National Party]], the [[Alba Party]] (formerly [[Solidarity (Scotland)|Solidarity]]), the [[Scottish Socialist Party]] and the [[Scottish Greens]]. Similarly, Labour supporters have referred to SNP members and supporters as being ''Tartan Tories''.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hughes |first1=Kirsty |title=Could the Kingdom Still Be United? |work=Economic and Political Weekly |date=26 July 2014}}</ref>
