‘No doubt our membership will dig deep’, says SNP leader despite ongoing police probe

Supporters of Scottish independence can still trust the SNP, leader Humza Yousaf has claimed – insisting members will still “dig deep” for the party.

Mr Yousaf was challenged over the ongoing police probe into the party’s finances, stemming from how more than £600,000 raised for a second independence referendum campaign was spent.

The SNP has been rocked by the arrest of Nicola Sturgeon’s former chief executive Peter Murrell and current treasurer Colin Beattie, both of whom were later released without charge pending further enquiries.
