Prime Minister jokes about the party’s legal troubles and vows to ‘smash’ the nationalists at polls
Rishi Sunak has mocked the SNP’s legal troubles as he claimed the UK Government had sent enough extra cash to Holyrood to pay for “28,000 motorhomes”.
In a rallying cry to Scottish Conservative activists at the Tory conference on Sunday, the Prime Minister also vowed to defy the polls and “smash” the nationalists at the next election.
He also hit out at Sir Keir Starmer, claiming the Labour leader “cares more about North London that he does about the North Sea”.
The SNP is embroiled in an investigation into party finances, during which Nicola Sturgeon, her husband Peter Murrell, and former party treasurer Colin Beattie were arrested.
