The SNP have suffered another bruising day in a leadership contest that is fast becoming a farce.
They refused to publish the party’s membership figures until forced to do so yesterday by all three candidates. In belatedly putting out the figures, they revealed almost a third of members have been lost in two years.
Did SNP bigwigs refuse to put out the figures because they suggest a slump in support for the SNP? Only those in charge know the answer to that question.
