🧵 Some interesting new polling by Ipsos Mori.

[Kieran Andrews @KieranPAndrews]

Source: “The NEC were unanimous in their position that we should seek to recover the funds stolen from us by Peter Murrell.”

Murrell’s lawyer told high court enough of his assets had been frozen by court order to allow repayment of the sum he embezzled from the party

[Kieran Andrews @KieranPAndrews]

EXC: SNP will pursue Peter Murrell for money he stole from the party

National Executive Committee last night agreed to a proposal by First Minister John Swinney to launch compensation order to try and recoup cash from Crown Office, which has proceeds of crime seizure underway

"Keir Starmer must stop the delays and act immediately to remove Peter Mandelson's peerage and taxpayer-funded £75,000 golden-goodbye pay-off." @DaveDooganSNP

🚨Revealed! How Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander fawned over Peter Mandelson saying: "Your judgement was vindicated. You probably don't realise quite how influential you've been in this whole improbable journey. From your initial encouragement two years ago this month."

[The SNP @theSNP]

Labour said it would protect Grangemouth.

Instead, Westminster has allowed Scotland’s refinery to close while easing sanctions on aviation fuel made from Russian oil.

Scotland’s energy workers deserve better and Scotland deserves control over its own energy future.

"I can't adequately convey the sense of betrayal I feel". John Swinney tells @ginadavidsonlbc he feels "absolutely gutted at the behaviour that has been perpetrated against decent hard-working members" of the SNP. @heraldscotland

[Paris Gourtsoyannis @PGourtsoyannis]

Files released on Peter Mandelson's appointment reveal regular contact with Douglas Alexander, and suggest a long-running political friendship

Days before the 2024 general election, they had this exchange where Alexander admits "there's v little enthusiasm for Labour"

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Chaired the Cabinet meeting earlier today and it’s a busy week ahead. This is how we are delivering on your priorities. 👇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happy Pride Month!

This month and every month, we stand with LGBTQ+ people across Scotland, celebrating pride, equality and the right to live openly and safely.

[The SNP @theSNP]

Local news matters.

For decades, people across Aberdeen and the North East have relied on STV North for news about their communities, not just headlines from elsewhere.

Now Westminster has waved through the end of that dedicated bulletin. It’s a blow for local journalism, local accountability and viewers who value news that reflects where they live.

[Kevin Stewart SNP @KevinStewartSNP]

This is an absolutely disgraceful decision and STV bosses should hang their heads in shame.

It also shows that OFCOM as a regulator are a complete waste of time and that they act in the interests of companies and not of the people.

👀 “No coherent plan” - not my words, but those of former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair.
