The SNP’s internal divisions have been laid bare this month as two major figures in the party have been sacked. Over the weekend front bench MP Neale Hanvey was removed as the party’s Westminster vaccine spokesman after a row with Kirsty Blackman. Mr Hanvey had backed a campaign to sue his colleague after a disagreement over transgender rights. He had been in the role since last week when an SNP reshuffle led to the sacking of another prominent figure – Joanna Cherry. The Separatists are an embarrassment to us in Scotland.
