The SNP has resisted calls to withdraw its backing for Robertson.On Monday Robertson posted a photo of herself campaigning in Crosshouse alongside Coffey and several SNP councillors on her new X account. "Civility in politics is the foundation of our democracy and it's up to every party to make sure we defend it.
