Tories outdid us, says EX-SNP MP

An ousted SNP MP has said Nicola Sturgeon’s party was “outmanoeuvred” by the Tories. George Kerevan, who lost his East Lothian seat to Labour, said the SNP had suffered a “spectacular electoral defeat” and the party would be deluding itself if that was not viewed as a “setback”. Writing in The National newspaper, he said that “like war, politics manoeuvre and we’ve been outmanoeuvred”.
