SNP Chief Executive Peter Murrell resigns with immediate effect amid membership numbers row
SNP Chief Executive Peter Murrell has resigned with immediate effect. It comes as reports suggested the First Minister's husband was faced with a vote of no confidence from party members. Murrell's departure comes the day after the SNP's head of media dramatically resigned amid the party's increasingly fraught leadership race. Murray Foote announced he had quit in response to a deepening row over the publication of SNP membership numbers. A statement released by Murrell reads: “Responsibility for the SNP’s responses to media queries about our membership number lies with me as Chief Executive. While there was no intent to mislead, I accept that this has been the outcome. "I have therefore decided to confirm my intention to step down as Chief Executive with immediate effect. I had not planned to confirm this decision until after the leadership election.
