I wouldn't be too sure. If that were so Murrell would have gone at the same time - he would have still been in place now if it weren't for the lies over membership figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 3 minutes ago, Savage Henry said: Wings is going to be insufferable - even more than usual. He is almost certainly right that there was something dodgy going on there, which most people could probably see. The old stopped clock, really. Unfortunately, this stopped clock will have the begging bowls out. Sturgeon going very suddenly would probably indicte some knowing there was an air of inevitably about this happening in the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, that whole saga strikes me as the behaviour of someone - and I'm not saying it was necessarily Murrell - trying to hide something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said there's nothing about him being charged with any offence - if they did have anything you think they'd have to move on it today. “A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal”. Sounds to me like that might not be far away. Shitshow is absolutely right. The SNP is about to eat itself.

Social media is already VERY interesting, with the same types who are claiming that Donald Trump being arrested is the start of a downfall having the law go after political targets for finance-based charges, also revelling in the fact that Peter Murrell has just been arrested for...erm...finance-based charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMoore Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Wow. Another massive blow for the SNP. This is like watching a car crash in slow motion that many people predicted. I wonder how continuity candidate Humza will cope with the inevitable fallout. Hopefully Sturgeon will be on Loose Woman again sometime soon to provide us with some more information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Did all those bots tracking deleted tweets by MPs and MSPs get punted? There's going to be a big scramble to delete anything praising Murrell, some of that coming just two weeks ago when he resigned, including from Humza Yousaf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Surely to f**k, no-one will defend Murrell now. Even the party apparatchiks (has anyone checked on Mhairi Hunter?). The issue is that the whole NEC is effectively culpable. In hindsight, when the Treasurer resigned and half the Audit Committee, the NEC should have stepped in. This is a colossal failure in governance at the very top of the party. Humza doesn't have many cards here other than "I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation" and authorising a root and branch review of the Party's operations.
