Party leader Anas Sarwar to launch commission to empower parliament after SNP ‘psychodrama’
Anas Sarwar has condemned the “circus” of the past week in Scottish politics, and suggested that Alex Salmond’s newly launched Alba party – which the former SNP leader claims can secure a supermajority for independence in May’s Holyrood elections – is “not about a tactic to get a referendum, this is about revenge”.
The Scottish Labour leader spoke of a crisis of trust in the parliament brought about by the fraught inquiries into the Scottish government’s handling of sexual harassment complaints against Salmond.
