MICHAEL Russell is expected to update the SNP’s ruling body today on a new campaign being undertaken to move the independence cause forward.
The SNP president was appointed last month as the political director of the party’s independence unit tasked with “firing up” the Yes movement.
The unit was established in January, with depute leader Keith Brown saying it would create policy papers and materials to advance the movement.
Ahead of today’s meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC), the SNP distributed a new eight-page leaflet on the Yes.scot website on Thursday entitled “Your right to decide how Scotland recovers”.
