John Swinney the General Election will be a challenge given the “tough time” the SNP have had recently. The First Minister told Sky News: “I think it will be a challenging election for us, we’ve obviously had a tough time as a party but I’ve come into the party leadership, I’ve been in for two and a half weeks and the party has come together already, it’s very united.
