The Scottish National Party (SNP) is facing challenges as it struggles to respond to the resurgence of the Labour Party in the upcoming election. Humza Yousaf, the SNP leader, has been criticized for his strategy, with some accusing the party of desperation. The COVID-19 inquiry in Scotland has revealed allegations of political decision-making, cover-ups, and the deletion of key evidence by the SNP government, leading to calls for transparency and accountability. The SNP's handling of the pandemic and its impact on Scotland's position within the UK have become central issues in the political debate.
