Alex Neil has finally said what everyone can see:
Swinney isn't leading the SNP through the Murrell scandal, he's hiding from it.

Every unanswered question screams one thing — what are they so desperate to keep hidden?

[Marko Polo @markthehibby]

🚨 The biggest political fraud in UK history - now getting eviscerated and laughed at across the board. What a pathetic 🤡 show! Shame on all those who did her bidding!!

[Willie Rennie @willie_rennie]

The SNP need to understand the damage that the scandal surrounding Peter Murrell has done to people's trust in politics. It is a personal tragedy for those involved but it is also a professional failure for the SNP leadership. 1/1

Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup…

“I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said.

"You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said.

"The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said.

"Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave?

"Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really?

"You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be.

"This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done.

"I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."

Enough is enough.

At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?

At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable?

He has been doing this his entire life.

In business.

In politics.

In the courts.

In the Epstein circle.

And now, as president of the United States, he uses the most powerful platform in the world to attack women who speak out, women who stand up, women who dare to tell the truth.

Look at what he is doing to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her — and instead of accountability, he keeps attacking. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon.

And that is exactly the point.

This is not just about insults. This is about control.

He takes away women’s rights.

He attacks women’s credibility.

He covers up the Epstein files.

He protects the powerful men while attacking the women who survived them.

He wants women silent. He wants survivors scared. He wants the country numb.

I’m asking a simple question:

When is enough finally enough?

When do we stand together and say no more?

No more letting the media normalize it.

No more letting politicians excuse it.

No more letting powerful men abuse women and then call themselves victims.

No more silence.

I am calling on this community — women, men, survivors, parents, citizens, everyone with a conscience — to stand together as one voice.

Protect women.

Believe survivors.

Demand the Epstein files.

Hold Trump accountable.

And stop supporting any media outlet, politician, or platform that continues to sanitize, excuse, or cover for this madness.

Because this is not politics anymore.

This is about basic decency.

This is about right and wrong.

This is about whether we are still willing to stand up for the women of this country against a man who has spent his life degrading them.

Enough is enough.

It is time to stand up.
It is time to speak out.
It is time to fight back together.

Peter Murrell was not a criminal mastermind he just took advantage of a system devoid of adequate checks & balances and a culture where scrutiny and questioning were demonised. That culture has infected the Scottish government, our Parliament & our civic life. It needs to change.

[Brian S @ExInspectorBDS]

I was a police officer for 30 years.

The idea that someone can claim to be "fully cooperating" with an investigation by choosing not to answer any questions is as preposterous as putting rapists in women's prisons.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

No, it won’t cut it. He needs to address why when 3 members of the SNP finance and audit committee resigned because Murrell wouldn’t show them the books the reaction of the leadership & their lackeys was to bully the person who made the announcement rather than to investigate

[Agent P @AgentP22]

A £125,000 motorhome was parked in Nicola Sturgeon's mother-in-law’s driveway for two years and she expects us all to believe she never noticed it.

This isn’t stretching credibility anymore — it’s beating it to death with a shovel.
