With police surrounding the home of Nicola Sturgeon, and the arrest of her husband yesterday, the people of Scotland need answers – and fast.
For once, Humza Yousaf was only telling it like it is. ‘This has been a difficult day for the party,’ he said, after the former Chief Executive of the SNP, Peter Murrell, the husband of the former SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, was arrested by police in Glasgow. He was released without charge almost 12 hours later pending further investigations.
As for the Scottish National party, as it staggers from crisis to crisis, long suffering members must wonder if things will ever be the same again.
It’s a difficult time for the new First Minister too. Yousaf insists he had no prior knowledge of the police’s actions and that he knows no more than the rest of us about the arrest of the man who has been a key figure in SNP HQ for over 20 years.
