    Only resigned as leader as well, still staying on as a Councillor... not a great look as it stands.

    I'm guessing that may not be a tenable position for long, but I don't know any more about these allegations than what's reported in that story.

    Somebody who clearly has a neck of the hardest brass is Margaret Ferrier, who I can only assume is sitting tight so she can draw her MP's salary for another couple of years:

    I'm unclear upon what basis she can possibly deny the charge against her.

    Resigning from the role is probably the right thing to do.

    I can only presume that whoever appointed him to this position was unaware of any claims of sexual harassment. If they did know about it, then they must have been pretty naive to think it wouldn't be brought into the public eye at some point.

    Have the SNP suspended him? I’m assuming they have.

    They promoted him, just like Patrick Grady.

    Also like Derek McKay the SNPs first instinct was to kill the story.

    It’s starting to appear that the Tartan Tories are behaving like the real Tories with their sexual shenanigans

    Irrespective of anything the Tories do, the SNP needs to firmly sort out this culture of drunkenly groping one another and then the way they subsequently deal with “the story”.

    It’s not reflecting at all well on them and is damaging them.

    So you now tell me about the Point I am making…my point is that some politicians of the SNP are sexual predators as are some of the Tories and the people who suffer are their victims. But you appear to defend the SNP because obviously it’s not as bad as the Tories. Regardless which party they represent they are ****

    Whiter than white or the usual "get your own house in order" arguments are very easy to use for lots of people.

    FWIW I think theres a sliding scale of sleaze, but it's not at all helpful when these things come out.

    Like all political parties the SNP have handled these incidents really poorly but every time you call them "Tartan Tories" you render your point worthless.

    i havent once defended the snp. i find most politicians hypocritical, lying, narcissists.

    what i do find funny is unionist/tory voters coming on here slating the snp when the institutions they support are far far worse.

    All groups of people will have sleaze bags, no group is free of sex pests and even the church has them. It's how they're dealt with that's important and the SNP really need to get their house in order.

    Explain why it’s inaccurate…The SNP crossed the chamber and sided with the Tories and speeded up the ushering of Thatcher…hence the name given

    You have a habit of calling people names on here and IMO it doesn't help discussion.

    In this case you are harking back to events of 40+ years ago - do you honestly believe that the SNP of 2022 follow Conservative policies?

    And lastly, did SNP really speed up the onset of the Thatcher era? The SNP wasn't responsible for Labour losing the election in 1979, it was the electorate responding to years of Labour's poor Government. Labour would have had to hold a GE later that year anyway, regardless of the VONC. Do you remember the winter of discontent?

    Along with the 'once in a generation/lifetime' statements by Salmond and Sturgeon in 2014, it's one of these inconvenient truths that annoy SNP supporters so get dismissed as boring or irrelevant.

    What is its relevance today?

    Do the SNP want to send people to Rwanda? Make striking illegal? Have they nicked billions of pounds for their pals during a global disaster? Seek a return to the troubles in Ireland?

    What makes today's SNP like the Torys of today?

    Aw for **** sake no again with the once in a generation. Look up rhetoric in the dictionary. Then look up the Edinburgh agreement. Then try to find any mention of once in a generation in there. A document signed by ALL parties. Johnson once said he’d die in a ditch, did you believe he would follow through in that as well. Rhetoric! Pure and simple. And folk using that as their defence for not having another referendum are clutching at straws and have already lost the argument
    And also I don’t believe even Jim Callaghan blamed the SNP for that VONC and lost election.
