🧵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.

@boswelltoday 👇Known for years. Internal audit and fraud investigation are two of my professional responsibilities.

Nothing happened/happens in Scotland without Sturgeon’s knowledge and agreement.

Swinney isn't referred to as her consigliere (undertaker) for nothing: https://t.co/2phgcQCM1P

[Roibeard Mhuiris @RMhuiris]

@Haitch7 @NicolaSturgeon The SNP set out to buy the state & civil society, & largely succeeded. "Give me your loyalty & good things will happen". State capture (corruption) costs. SNP placemen & loyalists riddle Scotland. Their silence costs. They're not going to incriminate themselves.

@stephenpollard 6) The prominent nationalist commentator has got involved in the row around single-sex spaces by claiming it is a right-wing plot to 'roll back the rights of women.'

[Margaret Thatcher @realmrsthatcher]

Gangs of assassins cannot be dignified with the word “Armies”. Terrorists are not “freedom fighters”. Brutal murders should not be cloaked with that legal-sounding word “execution”.

There can be no balance, no impartiality, between the bullet and the ballot.

Respectability should not be conferred on these people.

If they were in power, they would make short shrift of freedom of speech and every other freedom with it.

[Cllr Todd Ferguson @ToddFergusonNAA]

John Swinney in 2001 on Henry McLeish £9,000 expenses scandal:

"You have got to be able to trust the First Minister."

Once it escalated to £36k+ Swinney said:

"People around Scotland will be staggered by the amount of money that is involved.

For the good of the Scottish parliament as a whole and the office of first minister, Mr McLeish should now resign his position."

John Swinney in 2026 on the SNP's £660,000 fundraising scandal:

"Nothing to see here, folks."

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman explains why our government keeps growing:

“I don’t believe it’s true for a second that we have so much government because people have such demands upon government.”

“We have so much government because once you get started in an area, it becomes a preserve of the people who can best take advantage of it, and they have a far greater interest in maintaining it than the population at large has in destroying it.”

Thomas Sowell: “You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats, procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.”

[Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Vision of the anointed by Thomas Sowell.

Describing how the liberal media, political and intellectual elites wants to impose government control over the rest of us.

Dictating how we should live - through taxation and other forms of government control, because they are more "compassionate" and they know "best" (arrogance).

@Fyrishsunset @BigSeaUk @ScotRobbo 👇The blood & soil existentialist zoomers are loving every moment of it.

They're happy we're angry/unhappy. In their tiny minds, that's all that matters.

They seem to think it's all some sort of massive win; their party & cause have been strengthened: https://t.co/sYb5EWYByN

[Andy Wightman @andywightman]

Worth a quick note on how SP Bureau works. The Bureau decides on various parliamentry business matters most notably the timetable, what debates happen when, membership of committees etc. It then tables motions in Parliament (bureau motions) 1/5 https://t.co/xmZmJlyoZQ

[Andy Wightman @andywightman]

@conor_matchett There is no requirement to use D’Hondt in the standing orders. Parliament should vote against the Bureau motion this afternoon and agree a more balanced apportionment of places with no party having both convenor and deputy convenor from same party
