[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Wings Over Scotland has today filed a new complaint with Police Scotland and COPFS against the SNP, on grounds of suspected fraud, theft by appropriation, embezzlement and false or misleading statements, based on new evidence POST-Operation Branchform. https://t.co/orUI13zN5g

The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.

[ERA @EastRenAsks]

Given the revelations in court today Kirsten Oswald must immediately step down as an MSP

I'd say she should hand herself in to the police

You spent several painful hours in the witness box bloviating on the issue while trying to have a lesbian run charity shut down. Mercifully you were such an appalling witness your evidence unwittingly helped them win the case.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

I’ve resigned from the NEC of @theSNP. A number of factors have prevented me from fulfilling the mandate party members gave me to improve transparency & scrutiny & to uphold the party’s constitution. I won’t be making any further comment at this stage.

[Caroline McAllister @CallieMac009]

This is utter nonsense. No one is holding Sturgeon responsible for what Murrell did. She’s been held accountable for failing in her fiduciary duties & shutting down those raising concerns.

[Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @SarahLudford]

To say I am upset & bewildered that the leader of my party @EdwardJDavey - who last year said ‘we’ - the @libdems - ‘entirely accept’ the SC judgment - has now put his name to this nonsense is the understatement of the year.
Totally contradictory.
Massively disappointing.

[Murdo Fraser MSP @murdo_fraser]

This is deflection, pure and simple. No-one is saying that Sturgeon is responsible for Murrell’s crimes. What they ARE saying, rightly, is that as his boss and SNP leader she had a responsibility for its accounts, and she aggressively opposed scrutiny of those. Her failure.

[Caroline McAllister @CallieMac009]

I was at that meeting. JC is sharing facts.
Those attacking her need to ask themselves are they happy for our nation to be governed by dishonest shysters?
Are they happy to turn a blind eye when someone raising serious concerns is vilified? Really?😳

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

I will be on #BBCSundayShow on BBC1 Scotland shortly & as one of @theSNP NEC whistleblowers re financial mismanagement I hope to address some of the evasions & misleading statements in Nicola Sturgeon’s interview.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

This is simply untrue. The footage of her telling us that the finances were healthy and to be careful about asking questions was her response to the announcement that 3 members of the Finance & Audit committee were resigning because Murrell would not show them the books.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

🤦‍♀️ Nicola Sturgeon is setting up a strawman in her interview with @bbclaurak. Nobody was complaining of embezzlement in 2021. What we were worried about was financial mismanagement & lack of transparency. She demonised us for those concerns & should take responsibility for that.

[Caroline McAllister @CallieMac009]

Nicola Sturgeon-wife is not accountable for what her husband did.
Nicola Sturgeon-FM & boss of SNP CEO is accountable for what he did particularly after she shut down scrutiny by those on the finance committee raising the alarm.
Why did she choose to ignore the warnings?

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Living in a luxury house in London and sipping champagne on the book festival circuit is about as far away from serving a prison sentence as I can imagine. It’s worth remembering that thanks to Nicola Sturgeon vulnerable women in Scottish prisons are banged up with violent men.

[euan mccolm @euanmccolm]

Nicola Sturgeon is now a pariah among the political class, despised by opponents and former colleagues, alike. She wanted a legacy and this is it. I wrote this for @MailOnline: https://t.co/VjmSEHHS9q

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Don’t be fooled. Nicola Sturgeon (wife) is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. As leader of the party she is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction is 💯 clear.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Five years to the day since I resigned from the SNP NEC because of the deliberate frustration of the scrutiny of governance & financial management I had been elected by members to deliver. Those asking questions were treated appallingly. We need to know why.
