Nicola Sturgeon has said she can 'only speak for myself' when asked if others in the SNP are innocent of wrongdoing.
Nicola Sturgeon has said she can "only speak for myself" when asked if others in the SNP are innocent of wrongdoing.
Sturgeon was released without charge and she insisted again today that she was innocent of any wrongdoing. Asked if everyone else in the SNP had done nothing wrong, Sturgeon added: "This is a statement of fact, do don't read anything else into it. I can only speak for myself in these matters. Sturgeon shocked the political world in February with the sudden announcement that she would be resigning as First Minister.
The former first minister has since faced calls from some in her own party that she should voluntarily suspend her party membership until the police investigation is completed."I search my soul on these questions on an ongoing basis. I have dedicated most of my life to the SNP, and I don’t say that to make it sound like a sacrifice, it’s not been a sacrifice," she said.
