The First Minister and SNP leader conceded his party is facing ‘very difficult circumstances’ in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.
Humza Yosuaf has said the buck stops with him if the SNP fails to win next week’s Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election – with the Scottish First Minister stating the contest could be determined by the party’s effort on polling day.
She won the seat for the SNP in 2019, but was suspended from the party after she breached Covid regulations, travelling from Westminster to Scotland by train after testing positive for the virus. Ms Sturgeon; her husband, former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell; and the party’s former treasurer; were all later arrested by Police Scotland detectives as part of a probe into SNP finances – although all three were released without any charges being brought.
