John Swinney apologised last night after deleting evidence of a direct breach of coronavirus regulations while out on the campaign trail.
The Deputy First Minister deleted a picture he posted on Twitter of himself and four other party activists after they met up while out leafleting for the May election.The picture, uploaded online around 3pm on Friday March 26 was captioned: "Delighted to get out on the SNP campaign trail today."The image was swiftly deleted from online.
