A leaked email shows how SNP members were urged to campaign harder for Westminster candidates after the 'kick in the teeth' defection last month.
SNP members have described the defection of MSP Ash Regan as a “kick in the teeth” and called for her to resign.
An email sent from the executive members of the Edinburgh Eastern SNP branch last week said her defection was an insult.“Many members across the constituency worked hard, knocking doors, delivering leaflets, stuffing envelopes, to get Ash elected in 2016 and then again in 2021 and so Ash’s decision feels like a real kick in the teeth. And it is.“In that election, Alba received only two per cent of the list vote in this constituency. Nothing suggests that Alba are any more popular now than then.
