Gis A Job!
Delighted that @theSNP National Executive Committee has approved my nomination of Mike Russell @Feorlean as political director of the HQ independence unit. He will oversee the development of the party’s independence campaign, as we look ahead to #indyref2 later in this Parliament

Mike Russell has only just retired from his job as an SNP MSP, but he's been handed a new job by Nicola Sturgeon to oversee the party's indy campaign.
Not sure if it's a paid position, but Mike seems to have been appointed from a shortlist of just one!
