Nasty attack by Anum Qaisar an SNP MP on Rishi Sunak over his race
How utterly disgusting
She knows it was wrong and has deleted the tweet but won’t apologise
This is what SNP politics in Scotland seems to be; hatred and division
Attacking Rishi Sunak over his race is completely wrong.
This kind of nasty, bitter political attack shouldn’t be tolerated.
Nicola Sturgeon should step in to condemn this rhetoric and the MP in question should apologise.

Specialist charities can't provide significant evidence that MUP works
Here are the facts:

What are the rules around WhatsApp messaging between government figures ?
The SNP answered this question back in October.
Maybe FM Sturgeon, Deputy FM Swinney and National Clinical Director Leitch thought the rules didn’t apply to them ?
The rules state that ScotGov ministers MUST transcribe or copy ANY WhatsApp messages relating to govt business into an email or text document and stored in the central record.
