Remember when the SNP said they were on an election footing like 12 seconds after Johnson became PM, that clearly doesn't include much vetting.

It's actually unbelievable. An eminently winnable seat absolutely fucked because someone at HQ can't do their job properly.

They said they were on high alert for elections which to my dumb brain implies a lot of activity around selecting candidates and that but they seem to have chosen a horrible man to stand in Kirkcaldy regardless. So they either weren't really doing much and said it for effect or they're a bit crap at vetting candidates.


He’s been in and out of Fife Council for years so there’s a possibility the comments, whatever they were, were made while an SNP councillor.

Doesn’t seem to be any sign of what was said, so the presumption is the SNP have found this before the media.

Some candidates have been done for accounts they closed years ago. It would be hard to check, and do they have the staff to comb through 10 years of social media accounts anyway?
