@BumbleCricket Can we not keep the same squad for the 2nd test ? Issue fines not bans. Need to keep momentum over summer.

@BBCRadioScot I was a mathematics teacher 30 years ago and left because of discipline problems. Things have got worse since then because of 43% ASN pupils, full inclusion of all pupils, fewer sanctions, pupils' access to internet & mobile phones etc.

This is above party politics - it's a matter of trust and integrity in public life.

That's why we need a parliamentary inquiry.

@murdo_fraser Is there a party whip on this ? I would have thought some Green and SNP MSPs would want an inquiry to clear the air and have a fresh start without the Salmond/Sturgeon baggage that is hindering independence at the moment.

THREAD 🧵1/10
In June 2021 I published research on the SNP's missing ring-fenced indyref funds. Cherry, Chapman, and three finance committee members resigned citing obstruction. The media largely looked away.On 26 May, Murrell pleaded guilty to twelve years of embezzlement. The guilty plea isn't the reckoning. It's the moment the reckoning becomes unavoidable.

🧵Things I now believe to be true.

Scotland has not just watched a party finance scandal. It has watched the state, the party machine and the prosecution system close ranks in real time.

The public were expected to notice nothing.

Unfortunately for them, we did.

@TheScotsman who is on the petitions committee ? I have submitted 2 petitions.

@ScotNational It is not the internal workings of the SNP that people are interested in , it is the internal workings of the Scottish courts and justice system.

@ScotGovFM @JohnSwinney @scotgov Will the Scottish Government abolish cruel forced mental health treatment ?

[ScotFax @scotfax]

So many people asking why Murrell gave the SNP a loan when he was stealing from it.

It's rather obvious isn't it?

The party was on the brink of being unable to pay it's bills which would have resulted in a massive inquiry into the books.

So he gave the loan to cover himself.

John Swinney & Peter Murrell Relationship - How Deep? We need an enquiry.

@joannaccherry Nicola should be sent a bill for the £2.2m police investigation for not stopping the Murrell embezzlement at source.

[Andrew Muir @AndrewJMuir]

Sturgeon gave a "no comment" police interview, and later had legal assistance for her BBC interview. However under her Scottish mental health act you can be detained, drugged and beaten for 28 days based on your interview alone with a psychiatrist before you can appeal. Unjust.

[Murdo Fraser MSP @murdo_fraser]

No-one can believe a word she says

[Andrew Muir @AndrewJMuir]

@murdo_fraser Sturgeon should be on oath.

[Andrew Muir @AndrewJMuir]

@RealStephenKerr What about the Salmond arrest ? That was part of this. In fact it was the worst part. When do we get answers on that ?

[Andrew Muir @AndrewJMuir]

@jackiebmsp Change the culture so that a "no comment" reply to police by the accused is treated as officially negative by the law and not officially neutral.

[Andrew Muir @AndrewJMuir]

@joannaccherry If Murrell stole £400k, who is responsible for the £2.2m police investigation costs ? This should be paid for by the people that delayed the process by time wasting and blocking scrutiny.

[Andrew Muir @AndrewJMuir]

The mental health abuse continues.....

@murdo_fraser The Premier League should not be rerun as Shankland has transferred to Rangers. The election should be rerun as we didn't have knowledge of the Murrell admission which has had a material effect on SNP voting. The list votes need new rules too as many SNP voters voted Green.
