The SNP's Fast Minister's Decision to Stand Down

I want to talk to you about your decision to stand down, your reflections on your time as Fast Minister. Your husband Peter Marl resigned this weekend as SNP Chief Exec. The director of comms also resigned after it emerged the party had lied to the press about membership numbers. To quote the interim Chief Exec, Michael Russell, the party is in a tremendous mess. I'm struck by the fact most parties who go through a process like this do it after an election defeat. That's not the position the SNP is in. We're going through what I would describe as necessary growing pains. It is difficult, but I think we'll come out of it stronger.
