There should absolutely be an enquiry. This is not about Sturgeon, as a former member of the SNP it's about the membership and the credibility of the SNP. How did this happen, what processes / failures allowed Murrell to get away with what he did for so long?

Did the SNP Westminster Group have a separate bank account? Did Murrell have access to that account? With >£100k of “sundry” miscellaneous costs running through that group’s accounts in 2019 and 2020, there must be a case for an inquiry into whether taxpayer money was looted.

EXC SNP funds embezzled by Peter Murrell included taxpayer money Sturgeon ex-husband had access to £2.2m+ over 12 years from grants from the UK-wide Electoral Commission Means bags, cars & jewellery and could have been bought with money from taxpayers, not just members

Bronze sculpture 'Citizen Firefighter' in front of Grand Central Hotel. A tribute to firefighters, especially poignant given the recent fire heroically halted by firefighters from razing Glasgow Central Station to the ground. #snippetsofglasgow #Glasgow

We're remembering the poet John Clare today on the anniversary of his death in 1864. His life was a tragic one, and his last 23 years were terribly sad. This is 'I Am', a poem Clare composed at Northampton General Lunatic Asylum (now St Andrew's Hospital) in 1844-45.

Yes, the Ben-Gvir video is disgraceful. But that's not the issue. The (obvious) issue is that if that's how nonviolent European protesters are treated in public, any person with a brain can imagine how Palestinians are treated behind closed doors. *That* is the real scandal.
