Cole-Hamilton hammers SNP over auditors

Responding to Deputy First Minister Shona Robison's admission on Good Morning Scotland that the SNP must "get their house in order" and that auditors for the party have still not been found, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

"We are in the ridiculous situation where the First Minister cannot categorically state that his party isn't a criminal organisation.

"It's hard to get your house in order when it's been blown to smithereens

"By failing to appoint auditors, the SNP are setting a very poor example for the hundreds of thousands of small businesses who endured the disruption of the Covid pandemic and still filed their accounts on time.

"If the SNP cannot be trusted with basic administration, how can they be trusted to run Scotland?"
