If you want to understand the culture that allowed Murrell to get away with embezzlement for more than a decade while donors to the ring fenced indyref fund were duped, the Audible version of my book Keeping the Dream Alive (read by me) is now available👇 audible.co.uk/pd/B0GJTS86FD?…

Happy to say there will soon be a Korean version of my book Do Not Go Gentle: The Case Against Assisted Death - just signed the contract.

Keeping the Dream Alive is available from all good book sellers. I plan to update it fully with the story on the SNP finances. There is a lot more to say. amzn.eu/d/042mfVsH 3/3
