Whether religious, nationalist, genderist or a combination, cults are like drugs. They distort reality. People get hooked and act irrationally. Rehab is hard.

@scotfax @graeme_from_IT They claim Beattie was appointed the next day, 30th May, 2021. But it wasn't announced until 17th June. People like Swinney had commented in the meantime, without mentioning it. The loan was supposedly made on 20th June 2021, but not declared until August 2022.

There are questions, lots of questions. Here's the most basic of all. An incredible answer may be that Sturgeon just left all of this to her husband because she loved him and trusted him. But that would be admitting that the husband wife team at the top was a mistake!

@joannaccherry Hindsight is a great thing. But it doesn't excuse a lack of foresight. And neither does it excuse people who could have, should have, and probably did know better, but still sat back and did nothing.

I’m glad that Tommy has spoken out on this. Better late than never and to be fair the reality is that had he spoken out before he would have found himself the subject of bullying & smears. It’s this sort of behaviour at the top of our politics that merits an independent inquiry.

How can the SNP move on from Peter Murrell's embezzlement? We must start by admitting secrecy surrounded the finances and the party’s internal systems were inadequate, former MP Tommy Sheppard writes ✍️

While I understand Joanna’s point, and it is helpful for others to now speak out, I can’t avoid my deep disappointment that so many SNP MPs lacked the courage to stand up and be counted. Not just on this, but on many other issues where they looked the other way when those of us prepared to speak up were mercilessly hounded, harassed and bullied. There is no place for cowardice in public office.

Not sure an ex-FM saying this will be appreciated by Police Scotland. Basically anyone who is now sat before them can credibly refuse to cooperate and give this excuse and then write to them afterwards. That then cannot be taken as not cooperating fully with the police.

The Peter Murrell scandal gets more hilarious by the day “ Don’t tell me: Nicola Sturgeon never ‘consciously’ saw the 108 loo rolls her husband bought at the start of Covid, either ... ” telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/0…

@Honeythedog1 @anthoharris Seven hours is a long time, but there was a very big list of items to ask about. The dramatisation of the interview will need to be a bit selective obvs, probably just asking about the funny haha and funny peculiar stuff. “Are these sloggi pants yours or Peter's?” “No comment”

#Sturgeon “I will cooperate fully with the police inquiry” reality ..a a 7 hour no comment interview and a refusal to. provide a witness statement . Sturgeon “Of course I will provide all my what’s app messages to the COVID inquiry.” Reality.. she deleted the lot. A serial liar.

When £11k went missing from then FM Jack Mconnells constituency office it was found the branch treasurer embezzled it. The SNP at the time were adamant all files must be made public @JohnSwinney was holyrood group leader at the time!!!! Edited/13.57 news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/

@DeanMThomson And by the 30th, Colin Beattie had supposedly been reappointed as Treasurer (because otherwise it would have been Sturgeon), but I don't think Swinney mentioned that either (it wasn't stated publicly until the 17th, AFAIK, three days before Murrell's loan was supposedly given).

7/So by the time Swinney spoke to the BBC on 30 May 2021, the public record showed: — Three finance committee members gone — National Treasurer gone, citing legal obstruction — Senior NEC member gone, citing constitutional failures — Accounts with visible anomalies — Police Scotland assessing a formal complaint And he didn't understand.

3/Chapman's role wasn't ceremonial. Under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, the National Treasurer is legally responsible for keeping proper accounting records and ensuring party finances comply with the law. He was saying he couldn't do that. Because he was being blocked.

Now less than two weeks until Scotland plays Haiti in the World Cup. Haiti is of course very different from Scotland, with the country being run by criminal gangs ...

@sharrond62 @MillieFiore Either she trusted him implicitly, and despite concerns and warnings, could not conceive that something might be amiss, which was stupid; or she suppressed scrutiny and dissent regardless of the possibility of crimes and misdemeanors, which makes her complicit, and not a victim.
