The Labour leader claimed 'the parallels with the Tories and the SNP are very striking now'.

Keir Starmer has backed the introduction of a recall mechanism at the Scottish Parliament to remove rule-breaking MSPs.

Matheson was sanctioned after he tried to claim an £11,000 data roaming bill racked up on his official iPad on expenses. "You've got chaos and division, you've got unelected leader after unelected leader, and now on standards in public life, you've got the SNP picking up the Boris Johnson playbook. The member for Falkirk West was eventually suspended after MSPs agreed with sanctions - which John Swinney had initially opposed.
