The SNP has admitted that the party does not have the money to fight the election campaign after being questioned about the party's financial difficulties.
The new First Minister, who took over earlier this month, said he is planning to "find the money to fight the campaign".

Asked about their finances, Swinney said: "We’ll obviously have to raise money from our supporters, and we’ll be doing that to make sure we have a well-funded campaign".
