Statement on CEO departure

Eight years ago was the point where it was unacceptable to have the husband of the party leader as the CEO.

I am encouraged to see the democratic foundations of the party now asserting their rightful function.

The SNP is more than capable of surviving this, as long as we stick true to our roots, and we uphold the values of our members.

Accountability, transparency, modernity and accessibility are our foundations.

Every time we believe we have met our capacity to overcome a challenge, we can look up to our guiding lights, and know that our capacity may be limitless.

I will lead a Stronger SNP, together for Scotland.
