SNP president Michael Russell has argued there is “no reason” why Nicola Sturgeon shouldn’t say she “detests” the Tories as he defended the First Minister from Conservative fury.
Russell, the director of the SNP’s Independence Unit and former constitution secretary, was speaking exclusively to The National at the SNP conference.
On Sunday morning the First Minister sparked a political row when she explained why she’d prefer a Labour government to a Tory one.
