She should, of course, be commended for having the integrity to put aside party differences on a matter of shared principle, but I do wonder how this squares with the SNP’s endless denigration of the Labour party for its similar principled decision to campaign with the Tories on a single issue during the referendum campaign.
Is it not time that the SNP adopted a coherent approach and ceased at least this one of their many mantras, now that they have shown their own togetherness with the Tories on one issue of huge importance – somewhat ironically, that of remaining within a union?
