PETER Murrell has been told to hand in his resignation as the SNP’s Chief Executive by the end of the day or face a no confidence motion from the party’s NEC.
Last month, he issued “agreed party responses” to the media trashing a newspaper report that the party had suffered a loss of 30,000 members. “When you're a staff member, and you're at the epicentre of the story, time and time again, you need to understand that it's time to go."“The party can't start afresh unless both the political and operational leadership are renewed.
“Effectively he’s running the contest to replace his wife. That would be like Carrie [Johnson] counting the votes for Boris’s successor, and I think many people would think that would be fairly unusual. I think there is a conflict of interest here."
