Nicola Sturgeon urged by SNP MSP to consider quitting party after arrest during fraud probe

Nicola Sturgeon should consider resigning her SNP membership until after the conclusion of the police probe that resulted in her arrest, former leadership candidate Ash Regan has said.

Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland on Monday, Regan said: “The Government needs to be completely focused on delivering public services and delivering for the people of Scotland in these difficult times.”

She said the probe into the party’s finances could be a “distraction”, adding: “I think that Nicola should perhaps consider voluntarily resigning her SNP membership until this can be cleared up.”
