We are especially concerned by the role of Equality Network which is currently attempting to overturn the SC ruling. These groups are not accountable or open to FoIs.
It is time this was addressed.
We have written to @ScotGovFM asking that any inquiry into the role of money in politics includes lobby groups funded by the Gov which campaign to promote the policies of the governing party.
EXCLUSIVE: Secretive Courts service accused of 'cover-up' as it won't reveal why Peter Murrell's case was delayed until after election -https://t.co/ZsqhVaZ0JB

Lib Dem leader @agcolehamilton says the party's research shows 500 teaching jobs had to be re-advertised due to a shortage of suitable candidates.
He asks why subjects such as science, technology and computing are being "taught by history teachers or dropped entirely". #FMQs
Marginalised identity? He’s a hugely privileged young man who has post grad degrees from two leading universities (Trinity College Dublin and St Andrews) and is now a parliamentarian in a country where he is not (yet) a permanent resident. How many working class women are hidden in the “quiet corners” with no voice?
🔥 “It was quite damning about the way the Scottish Government conducts itself in terms of FOI.” That's been my experience too with SG & Edinburgh Council when trying to uncover the truth behind the long running venue saga that's holding up our inquiry! @FOIScotland@DvdHmltn
Marion Calder said: “Q Manivannan should stop trying to colonise our spaces. What Q is calling for would amount to a clear breach of the law and workplace regulations.
“The women who have contacted Q may not be the same women who contact us, who have been raped and assaulted by men who claim to identify as women, including ones with long hair.”

❓Did Peter Murrell steal taxpayers' cash?
❓Did he rob SNP members like Margaret Killah?
❓Why did he get legal aid?
❓What were the terms of his secret plea deal?
❓Why was Nicola Sturgeon not prosecuted?
No wonder John Swinney's scared of an inquiry👇

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the Scottish Parliament should "look closely" at the concerns raised by the Peter Murrell case following a question from Labour MP @Alison_S_Taylor who describes the affair as a "national scandal". #PMQs
@HolyroodDaily John Swinney telling the opposition to come up with a better strategy to scrutinise SNP while voting down an internal investigation. He doesn’t agree this is the best way?
The SNP-Greens have blocked a Scottish Parliament inquiry into one of the biggest political scandals in Scotland’s history.
That tells you everything you need to know.
The culture that allowed Peter Murrell’s crimes to happen is alive and well.
@HolyroodDaily@PaulJSweeney Horrific. So many innocent people suffering. Scottish Labour need to keep telling people the facts about what is going on with immigration in this country and where there is a problem address it for the sake of everyone it has made a promise to manage Scotland well. So sad.
