Russell Findlay: “Solid Scottish Conservative by-election win for our new Stirling councillor Katie Harrison.”

John Swinney has a simple choice, either legitimise the Scottish Greens’ antisemitism by welcoming them to SNP conference or ditch them.

In today’s volatile world, relentless SNP agitation about independence is no longer just a dangerous distraction. It is now dangerously irresponsible.

Just last week, Putin’s foreign minister was talking up the Cardiff gathering of Swinney, Sinn Féin and Welsh nationalists. That tells you everything you need to know. A divided UK is a gift to our enemies.

Swinney says he respects Scotland’s Jewish community. If so, then he won’t give his Green friends a platform.
