Ian Blackford has stepped down as SNP leader at Westminster.

There was already talk of a coup at the AGM prior to this. Could lead to some "fun" within the SNP depending on who replaces him.

I mean is there any evidence of that? Beyond Joan Cherry and a bunch of Edinburgh middle class fascists, has there been any sign that the SNP is infested with TERF's? Was it just Nicola Sturgeon holding back the wave of right wingers?

The membership is very TERFy but were willing to set it aside for independence. Before they all left for Alba, the TERF bloc nearly swept the SNP's National Executive Council based on membership votes. If a transphobe candidate stands, I'd expect them to do well. Aside from the Tories obviously, the SNP also had the highest proportion of their MSP's voting against GRA reform.
