Nicola Sturgeon 'more Green than SNP' after ex-FM blasts John Swinney's election campaign

A veteran Nationalist has criticised the former First Minister, claiming Nicola Sturgeon is more Green than the SNP. This individual argued that pursuing more woke policies would not have benefited the SNP's 2026 election campaign. Meanwhile, Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon describes Sturgeon as an irritating back-seat driver whom John Swinney cannot shake off, suggesting that the current First Minister's loyalty to his predecessor is being severely tested amidst these internal party tensions.
