The Alba Party has now reached the ‘two bald men fighting over a comb’ stage of absurdity

Alex Salmond’s vanity project and revenge vehicle has driven itself into a ditch. It’s collapsing in a storm of demented factionalism. To be honest, it is a joy to watch

The Herald broke this story on Wednesday and explicitly stated that this was Joani Reid's husband. The story that you're replying to explicitly states this in the second paragraph.

Our tweet today explicitly states it. We only posted the opening paragraph here because of Bluesky's character limit.
