Murdo Fraser, Jackie Baillie, Alex Cole-Hamilton and Margaret Mitchell were all part of the committee looking into the Scottish Government’s handling of harassment complaints against Alex Salmond. Cole-Hamilton had previously been caught on camera mouthing the words 'f*ck you, Maree' to SNP MSP Maree Todd. Fraser had complained that Nicola Sturgeon's daily covid briefings were nothing but party political broadcasts and, having inadvertently given her even more air time, may have felt somewhat dismayed when her measured performance resulted in thousands of new SNP members.
