🧵Welcome to the 800 new followers who have joined us this week! 🧵 I’m Emma. After joining Scottish Liberal Democrats I became heavily involved as a volunteer. I did incredibly well. They fast tracked through me the approval process so that I could run in elections 1/24

If I was lying, surely at this point, it would be a story in itself? Former CEO wavers anonymity and spends 6 years talking about abuse only to be discovered she's lying etc? Whichever way you slice it, there's a story here. When does media become complicit in the cover up?

@sadietrent_92 He ended up with an NDA.

What the actual… surely he could have sued them for wrongful termination

🧵When I was Chief of Staff to Sheila Ritchie MEP, I worked in @scotlibdems HQ. One of our gay staffers experienced domestic violence. The party moved to sack him because they said his situation would bring the party into disrepute. No kindness shown. It was disgusting. 1/3

@pjwoodside @ConnorGillies @ginadavidsonlbc @Political_AlanS @KieranPAndrews Thanks for posting this Patrick! My stomach flipped for a second because I spent so long trying to decide whether to post that back in 2022. Odd how the body keeps a record of some of the feelings around social media posting. We've come a long way since then!

I'm doing this from memory but... @ConnorGillies - no contact ever @ginadavidsonlbc - tagged regularly by supporters but no contact @Political_AlanS - possibly tagged in my tweets but no contact @KieranPAndrews - Kieran came to my house in 2021, spent months working with me...

@BecMcQ - new one for me. @marissaamayy1 - new one for me. Great exercise! First, there's more women to contact than there was in 2020. Second, I can't rely on them coming to me.

@bbclornag - new one for me. I've avoided the BBC because of their relationship with Lib Dems down south. @LucyAJackson_ - new one for me. @BBCLucyAdams - new one @libby_brooks - I sent Libby an email but didn't hear back. I have met with Guardian colleague about the laptop

This is useful for me. I realise there is still so much to do in terms of media. @shonacraven - new to me. I did have chats with another journalist at National in 2021 which didn't lead anywhere. @LauraEWebsterr - tagged in lots of my stuff. Top of my list to contact for awhile

A.M.MacJ@ammacj

@EmmaWalkerCEO Good question. Why have no journalists reported on the disturbing LibDems allegations? @shonacraven @LauraEWebsterr @DaniGaravelli1 @_RebeccaMcCurdy @CatrionaStewart @KathrynSamsonC4 @bbclornag @lucyidunn @LucyAJackson_ @BBCLucyAdams @libby_brooks @BecMcQ @marissaamayy1

Thank you @ammacj. Doing this has made me realise that I've got to take more of an active lead in contacting broadcast journalists rather than expecting them to come to me. My experiences with print journalism left me a bit traumatised, but it's time to try again.

@PeterAdamSmith - he contacted me in 2021 and made it sound like he wanted to do a pre-recorded interview with me. We chatted back and forth, I spoke to his producer for over an hour and then the war in Ukraine started. Peter unfollowed me shortly after.

A month later, Alex Cole Hamilton and Willie Rennie found out the Party Manager had a laptop from Alastair Carmichael's court case that they were hiding in HQ. Alex (along with Sanne Dijkstra-Downie who is running for Edinburgh Northern in the election) sacked and NDA'd her. 2/3

Ask three people to sign my petition. Can we get a few hundred more signatures to get to 1,500 before the election? We need to start the new session louder than ever.

@owenjonesjourno Care to help Emma?

Emma Walker@EmmaWalkerCEO

That's when I became interim CEO. I was given access to former Party Manager's inbox. The emails discussing the gay staffer and how they were to be handled were appalling, cruel and cold. I'm in possession of those emails. I want to show them to an independent investigator. 3/3
