Humza Yousaf has said he is “delighted” to have Murray Foote as the new SNP chief executive.
He tweeted: “Many congratulations to @murrayf00te named today as the new @theSNP Chief Executive - only the third such appointment since the post was created in 1994. “Having so publicly travelled the journey from #No to #YES he is ideally placed to help others make it.”
During his time as editor of the Daily Record newspaper, Foote famously engineered the Vow – a pledge by UK political leaders to give Scotland more powers in the lead-up to the 2014 independence referendum, which was made on the newspaper’s front page. Western Isles MP Angus Macneil, who sits as an independent after being expelled from the SNP, suggested Foote’s “flexible mind” could mark his return to the party.
I wonder if the Author of"The Vow" in 2014, Murray Foote, now the new Chief Executive of the SNP, a man of flexible mind, will be the man to rescind my expulsion. 🤔He tweeted: “I wonder if the Author of"The Vow" in 2014, Murray Foote, now the new Chief Executive of the SNP, a man of flexible mind, will be the man to rescind my expulsion.”Scottish Labour MSP Michael Marra said:"These people have lost grip of reality.
“This is just the latest continuity candidate to be brought back by Humza Yousaf who is desperately trying to get the band back together ahead of what could be their farewell tour.
