There have been claims that the UK’s poor Eurovision performance was partly the result of hostility towards the UK on the continent due to Brexit.
Ms Spear later urged those taking offence to “have a word with yourself” and attacked UK Government policies.
She said: “The UK has a billionaire Chancellor who won’t give NHS staff a fair pay rise during a global pandemic” and claimed Boris Johnson is “more interested in lining the pockets of his Tory donors than feeding hungry children”.
However, after SNP headquarters became involved, an apology was issued on her behalf and she deleted her Twitter account.
Ms Spear said: “I have now deleted this tweet about the UK’s results in the Eurovision Song Contest, and apologise for any offence caused.”
