SNP in a 'tremendous mess' following row over membership numbers, admits party president
The SNP is in a "tremendous mess" following a row over membership numbers that led to the resignation of its chief executive, the party's president has said.
He confirmed his resignation just hours after Murray Foote, head of communications for SNP MSPs, announced his own departure. Asked why the party had misled the public over the number of SNP members, he added: "I have no idea why that took place. I have the greatest respect for Murray Foote, and I have known Peter for a long time. I am not going to speculate about what happened, but we do need an answer to that."
