Former first minister says SNP is losing members because it lacks 'fight' and 'disillusioned' independence supporters.

He said the SNP should be worried about its falling membership numbers.

Salmond said the party's leadership is giving the impression of being 'brain dead' at the moment.

He also hit out at Angus Robertson , the external affairs secretary, calling him 'a fud'.

Mr Salmond said Mr Robertson 's meeting with Israeli diplomats should have been limited to the need for a ceasefire.

Scottish Government has said any further meetings will be declined.

Earlier this week , Mr Swinney held talks with the head of the Palestinian mission to the UK , discussing the situation in the Gaza Strip .
