Alex Salmond has resigned from the SNP after two people accused Scotland's former first minister of sexually harassing them.
The 63-year-old said he "refutes" the complaints and "absolutely rejects" any suggestion of criminality.
He said he was stepping down after 45 years of service to protect the party from being attacked by the opposition over the matter before Parliament returns next week.
