Swinney refuses to answer the key question. Resorts to ‘Murrell’s criminal conduct’ or ‘in the past’.
Concern over resignations: Frank Ross, Allison Graham, Cynthia Guthrie, Douglas Chapman, Joanna Cherry, dismissed.
Sturgeon, Beattie and Oswald signed off accounts 👀
She is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. She is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction should be perfectly intelligible to anyone except the disingenuous.
For years people have said what a nice man John Swinney is and what a "safe pair of hands" he is. He's neither. He's a brittle, passive aggressive bloke who has made a career out of being a brown noser to the right people but he also hasn't been averse to putting the boot in
CHAMPIONS AGAIN! 💚🏆
He who laughs last, laughs best!
Champions are never accidental, they fight until the very end and score when the moment matters most.
Thanks to Digitalb for 98 minutes I was in “Paradise” too. YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE! Hail Hail! 🍀 #CelticFC💚 #Champion5 🏆
Thanks to @kmckenna63 for a great review of my book - Keeping the Dream Alive - An Insider's Account of a Tumultuous Decade in Scottish Politics. Published today by @iconbooks & available from all good book sellers.
@ACC_B@HazelLyon16 Hi Mr B. ISP were initially part of Alliance and were well represented. They walked & decided to stand v us. ATLS always wanted to stand in as many regions as we could. ALBA's sad demise means we have 40 and a Party Political Broadcast, we are about unification. All are welcome.
All the polls are telling us the Regional votes for the SNP will only elect Unionists. SNP 1-2 only helps Unionists not the SNP!
Vote Alliance To Liberate Scotland on the Regional list to ensure an Independence Super-Majority.
Purists v Pragmatists
So apparently, being called "ATLAS" is meant to be an insult from the armchair critics. Funny. In the real world, Atlas was the Titan who held up the sky. He bore the weight. He did the heavy lifting. If that's the worst you can call someone in the independence movement who is actually doing the work, then I'll wear the name with pride.
What I genuinely don't understand is the mentality of so-called "independentistas" who spend their energy attacking the people trying to achieve independence. You'd think a one-policy party focused solely on delivering independence would be the last target for abuse. Yet here we are.
This gets to the heart of a tension you see in every political movement: the purists who demand ideological perfection, and the pragmatists who are trying to build the actual coalition needed to win. Purists sit typing long-winded rubbish to damage anyone who doesn't meet their exact standards, while pragmatists are out there organising, campaigning, and doing the heavy lifting.
We don't have time for purity tests. We have one goal: independence. If you're more focused on attacking fellow travellers than you are on tearing down the union, you're not an activist. You're a distraction.
Save the fire for the real target. We've got a country to win
Nicola Sturgeon will receive a "resettlement grant" of £77,710 this year for standing down as an MSP, the first £30,000 of which is tax-free. That's on top of a payment of £64,378 when she stood down as FM. That's a total of £142,088 *just for walking away when things got tough*.
There’s a lot of noise just now. The level of interest right now is huge, and we don’t take that lightly. We’ve chosen to focus on something else, building, organising, and bringing the right people together. It’s not always visible straight away. But it is happening.
We’re building something solid, not something rushed
Conversations are happening.
Decisions are being made.
And things are coming together.
Not everything is for public consumption straight away.
Stay tuned.
