Michael Matheson’s resignation deepens Humza Yousaf’s woes

Michael Matheson faced an investigation into an 11,000 expense claim for the use of his parliamentary iPad while on holiday in Morocco .

He had initially lied to journalists about the cause of the huge payment, later claiming he was trying to protect his family.

The initial expense claim was a good enough reason for him to be sacked.

But this is not the SNP way as with previous scandals, it dug in and hoped the furore would pass.
