Me too:
Hours before, Nicola Sturgeon’s strategic policy and political advisor Liz Lloyd – a hugely influential figure – announced she too would be resigning from government after Regan’s campaign team raised concerns about her role in Yousaf’s campaign. Reports emerged earlier in the week that she had been providing advice to Yousaf, which Regan’s campaign said could be breaking party rules.
A spokesperson for the Scottish government said that this was not the case, that ‘special advisers are permitted to assist with party leadership elections, in their own time, while still employed by the government’. Lloyd quit her job anyway.
Having previously bashed the Conservatives for their own sleaziness and lack of honesty, it is not a good look for the SNP to be facing multiple resignations linked to integrity issues.
Absolutely!
