SNP MSP accuses deputy leader of 'categorically untrue' statement amid Nicola Sturgeon arrest row
An SNP MSP has accused her party’s depute leader of making “categorically untrue” claims amid the row over whether to suspend Nicola Sturgeon.
She said the former First Minister had to be “consistent” as she herself lost the whip in 2015 after stories were published on her property dealings.However, deputy leader Keith Brown told the BBC the decision to withdraw the whip had come from Thomson. "I was and I can confirm that this is categorically untrue . This is why I think it important for the former First Minister to set out why she deserves natural justice - but others didn’t when she was in charge.”
