TWO senior SNP MPs have quit the front bench days after Stephen Flynn was elected as their new Westminster leader.
Pete Wishart told Flynn he was "bemused" by his decision to go for the leadership when support for independence was running high.
In a letter brimming with sarcasm, he added: "Usually change of this significance accompanies failure, whereas we are looking only at sustained and growing success as a movement and party.
Defence spokesman Stewart McDonald also resigned and warned there could be no "shortcuts" to independence.
Flynn succeeded Ian Blackford as SNP Westminster leader on Tuesday after weeks of speculation about his intentions.
