Peter Murrell has now been exposed as a thief.
However, this SNP scandal exposes deep rot at the heart of the Scottish establishment and a chain of events that ultimately led to the untimely death of Alex Salmond.

🚩 A source said of Ms Gilruth: “It was all about her — a ‘I pay your wages, you’ll do what you’re f***ing told’ thing.
“She would send tonnes of very nasty emails"

So let me get this straight, we're going to import gas, export jobs and export emissions.
We're going to pay for someone else to drill dirtier gas, transport it here, lose our tax revenue, sack our own workers, then pretend we're being 'green'.
Righto.

So, Stu Campbell is vindicated by none other than the Scottish Information Commissioner. That should make a few SNP loyalist heads explode.

The transparency watchdog in Scotland has urged prosecutors to come clean about the reasons for the decision not to prosecute Nicola Sturgeon and why a fraud investigation into “missing” SNP donations was dropped.

"Why was Nicola Sturgeon not charged, watchdog asks prosecutors
The Scottish information commissioner with a no-nonsense reputation has raised questions about Operation Branchform, the dropped investigation into SNP finances
David Hamilton says the public deserves more information about the investigation that led to the imprisonment of Peter Murrell, Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband"

A legal action brought against the SNP Government by the estate of Alex Salmond is "moving towards" a court hearing with a key deadline for submissions set for next month.

I have a great deal of respect for Ruth but this silly post is sadly reflective of a wider commentariat that fails to understand an issue of vital importance to domestic energy and economic security.
Firstly, industry in Aberdeen is almost entirely supportive of renewables. It hosts a world-class subsea engineering supply chain (the largest cluster of such energy companies in the UK) that is our USP in our effort to deliver green offshore energy. Sadly, the reality is governments, north and south of border, have current consenting delays and policy barriers (SSEP/ TNUoS) in place preventing the investment required to unlock the vast pipeline of renewables projects (majority off north and north east cost) so they are available commercially and at scale - which they are currently some years off. The transition is stalling and that is regrettable but definitely recoverable with clear focus and bold decision making. Scotland can genuinely be a global leader in this space. So the only apology Ruth should make is to the host of companies in Aberdeen and wider region that are diversifying their businesses to capitalise on renewables but lack volume of orders to sustain profits (and thus jobs) for the long term.
Secondly, consult any credible data and it will confirm oil and gas still cover about three-quarters of UK energy use today, projected to be approximately a fifth of demand by 2050 as renewables scale up. The question therefore is not whether we need oil and gas but whether we use more of our domestic UKCS supply or rely even more on imports? The latter is certainly bad for jobs (thousands have been lost) balance of payments, security of supply and indeed the environment/ carbon emissions. But I suppose it may make some ill informed twitter experts feel better about themselves.
Thirdly, a simple cursory goggle search shows other oil and gas producing ‘west’ nations ramping up not decreasing production as well as renewables - Norway, Denmark and Canada to name a few. Why? See above. Are these all climate denying, right wing lunatics too? No, they are pragmatic and know it’s not an either/ or situation.
Fourthly and finally, I will look on with interest at the GERS figures this week as my fellow nationalists talk up the strength of the Scottish economy. I’d just urge them to note the revenues from oil and gas (including the punitive EPL) as they do so.
We need less virtue signalling and more evidence based discussion on this issue.
