Manage episode 419841982 series 3541991
Rishi Sunak has been accused of holding Scotland in 'contempt' after he called a general election for the first week of the school holidays in most parts of the country.
The First Minister John Swinney responded to Sunak's timing by saying: "This is perhaps the latest act of disrespect from a Conservative government to call an election during the Scottish summer school holidays. It shows the contempt the Tories have for Scotland."
Swinney added the election will be a challenge given the “tough time” the SNP have had recently.
