Angela Constance says Nicola Sturgeon’s criticisms of the SNP’s election campaign are “wrong,” according to reporting by the Evening Standard and Belfast Telegraph. In comments attributed to Constance, she argues that the approach being taken by Sturgeon toward the party’s campaign does not help and should not be the focus. Constance also praises John Swinney, describing him as “the best first minister yet,” presenting him positively in contrast to the criticism aimed at the party’s campaign. The coverage focuses on the internal political exchange within the SNP, with Constance positioning herself against Sturgeon’s line of attack while highlighting Swinney’s leadership. The reports provide limited additional detail about the specific nature of Sturgeon’s campaign criticisms or any direct response from Sturgeon herself. Overall, the story centers on disagreement among SNP figures during the election period, with Constance defending the campaign’s direction and endorsing Swinney’s performance as first minister.
