Greens helping cover up for SNP. Wonder what they’ll ask for in return? Parties should investigate each other when there is an issue worth investigating

So Colin Beattie offered £20,000 to an SNP branch to get his seat. A modern studies teacher dad paid £50,000 to get his daughter a seat. While inconclusive there does appear to be a pattern.

Excl: SNP treasurer Colin Beattie was 'paranoid' about leaks and gave out numbered copies of financial accounts to prevent members taking them home for scrutiny dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Will the Amos review fix our broken maternity system? Can relying on existing flawed data identify the true extent of harm? I’ve focused on internal hospital reviews of babies’ deaths - PMRTs. There’s good reason to believe harm is being underestimated. newstatesman.com/politics/socie…

@WestPilton What week are we on now? I’ve lost count 😂

Domestic abuse victim gives police filmed evidence of her evil husband drugging and raping her and they refuse to act saying they can see no evidence of criminality leaving Dannielle MacDonald to face years more torture. MSP Stephen Kerr to call chief constable to account.

MAY 2026 UPDATE Who Owns Scotland now published with a total of 5000 landholdings (76.95% rural Scotland). All records updated & 19 new ones including an estate sale that I will highlight in a blog. New subscriptions welcome - they start at £6. Link in bio

Last week I blogged about the failure of Police Scotland and the Crown Office to investigate and prosecute evidenced cases of landowners who had failed to register with the Register of Controlled Persons in Land - a statutory offence 1/2

Reform’s dog whistle politics must be called out. Offord’s mumbling routine should not mean we ignore his words.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

Is the husband of an SNP MSP not very senior in Johnston Carmichael LLP?! That might explain why no red flags were raised until just before they resigned as auditors!

This goes way beyond the Scottish National Party. I remember speaking to Greg Fisher who sadly passed away who was famous at #SNP Conferences for raising points of order for party rule breaches. He told me they were abusing the party's rules. He was 100% right and they still are. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

15/ And above all, I now believe this: The scandal is no longer just what Peter Murrell did. The scandal is what Scotland’s institutions appear willing to do to make sure the public never gets the full story.

THREAD 🧵1/10 In June 2021 I published research on the SNP's missing ring-fenced indyref funds. Cherry, Chapman, and three finance committee members resigned citing obstruction. The media largely looked away.On 26 May, Murrell pleaded guilty to twelve years of embezzlement. The guilty plea isn't the reckoning. It's the moment the reckoning becomes unavoidable. 🔗 thinkscotland.org/2026/05/is-the…

2/10 The SNP didn't just hide this. They developed a remarkably specific grammar of evasion. Funds that were "frozen" became "woven through" the accounts. A First Minister who said finances were managed "on a cash flow basis" — when the party used accrual accounting. An auditor fraud flag that was never made public. Technically defensible in isolation. Collectively incoherent side by side.

After @Keir_Starmer accused @elonmusk of whipping up division I thought I’d share some of the misogynistic abuse and death threats I’ve received on this platform. 👀 news.sky.com/video/share-13…

Sarah Michelle Gellar has paid a beautiful tribute to Anthony Stewart Head via instagram 🕊️ ““Tell Giles I figured it out and I’m ok” Well I don’t have it figured out and I’m not ok. But I know I’m the lucky one because I knew you. Thank you to Daisy and Emily who not only shared their dad with me, but with the world”
