@TonyHereAtHome@joannaccherry The only public money that could be in that account was policy development grants, which have been accounted for by independent auditors on behalf of the electoral commission.
@andywightman He worked around going through the online portal, ultimately by a very weak excuse that wasn’t verified or checked.
There was clearly flaws in the governance, glad that has now been addressed, unfortunately it is after, it has been exposed by a criminal.
@andywightman There is obviously flaws and safeguards in the processes, but these were worked around by the criminal actions of Murrell. Invoices/Receipts were faked/edited by him
Pleased to hear these processes have now been changed.
Accuracy when describing these events is important.
@hoddles10 The single offside line is drawn on the defender, not the attacker. When it is clear that the attacker is onside, a second line is not required.
@C_ENicolson I���ll whisper it quietly, but 5 years of focusing on competence government and improving the lives of the people of Scotland through a renewed focus on the NHS, cost of living, and growing the economy… will enhance the Indy Ref Support.
@conor_matchett Both of them should be resigning.
Sarwar absolutely botched the campaign, and tried to make it a personality contest about him, without realising how deeply unpopular he is.
The give me 5 gimmick was hilarious, as well as claiming he was going to be First Minister 🤣
@fifesaint1978@theSNP Doubt it. I’d imagine John will lead through the entire term. He will feel renewed by this election win.
Flynn also won’t be the only contender for leadership, Mairi McAllan will be a very strong contender.
@theSNP Alison Thewliss and Alyn Smith also experienced politicians coming into the party. There was a lot of talk of losing many experienced heads from within Holyrood, but perhaps the refresh alongside a Swinney vision with a mandate will refocus things.
@theSNP An outstanding, and historic result. Credit to John for his leadership.
There has been some really knowledgeable and talented MSPs elected this time around (Linden, Flynn, Gethins) plus some new exciting MSPs. Looking forward to seeing a party refocused on delivery.
