@ka8895@scotfax@Scottishpbjg@Daily_Record Depends if it's a crime or not and I'm in no way qualified to say. However, a quick search certainly suggests Swinney's admission that funds were not used for the very specific purpose they were donated & 'ring-fenced' for, could leave the party wide open to civil action.
@ScotExpress@StephenFlynnSNP is as arrogant and detached from reality as the rest of his party. He has no idea what Scots want. Hopefully he'll be the next SNP leader. Thoroughly unlikeable, utterly inept and his smug, sanctimonious demeanor would likely be the final nail in the SNP coffin.
@CraigHouston_@tractorgirly Has @JohnSwinney just openly admitted to the misappropriation of funds, specifically raised and 'ring-fenced' for a purpose other than the purpose they were used for? If not a criminal act, it surely opens the party and whoever authorised misuse of the funds, to civil action?

Peter Murrell will still be entitled to taxpayer-funded legal aid despite being able to repay more than £400,000 he embezzled from the SNP, The Herald understands 👇
Membership fees and general donations are for the day to day running of the party. The £600k was raised separately for a very specific purpose and it was not used for that purpose. Those who donated were duped. Cheated. This glib response from @JohnSwinney just proves how truth and honesty are now completely alien concepts to him and @theSNP in general.
With Dorothy Bain in charge, I doubt they had to push too hard. Ditto to dismiss a prosecution of Mrs Murrell, despite her unwillingness to cooperate with police and her closeness to the guilty party (and his ill gotten gains) on both a personal and professional level, making her complete ignorance of the crime almost impossible.
@RealStephenKerr@Haitch7 Many Scots never bought it in the first place and wouldn't have trusted Sturgeon to run a raffle even at her 'peak'. The fact a dwindling few cult followers still take everything she says as gospel, just shows how incredibly gullible some people can be.
@AgentP22 The @JohnSwinney defence of 'I never looked at the books' after 3 senior colleagues resigned over the lack of financial accountability, is about as credible as the Sturgeon defence of 'Ah didnae go intae the kitchen'. These people really do take us for complete mugs.
PLEASE RE-POST!
Dear Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) @policeconduct - the @HantsPolice officer is clearly breaking the excessive force law here. If the man died, the officer would be prosecuted for murder. What action do you propose to take TODAY? @elonmusk
@Artemisfornow@Haitch7 It's almost as if Labour is using the SNP record of lies, cover-ups and corruption as a user manual. It's unbelievable to see the underhand tactics we've seen for so long in Scotland, being mirrored now at Westminster.
@Fyrishsunset@Haitch7@POScotParl has one job and one job only. Protect @theSNP at all costs. Reason #248 why @ScotParl is unfit for purpose. The Kremlin was more open and democratic at the height of the Cold War.
@HumzaYousaf How many of the Hamas leaders have you named and shamed? Or Hezbollah? Or IRGC? When they are who you consider to be the good guys and the people you are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with, it speaks volumes.
Oh shut up. It's people like you who scream 'racist' at every opportunity who put people like Henry in danger in the first place. Same with the grooming gang victims. We have now seen there is officially a two-tier justice system in operation, so congratulations. You got what you wanted. Henry and others like him, are the consequence. Henry's family is indeed a credit to this country. You on the other hand, are an absolute disgrace.
@AgentP22 Entirely predictable. The primary role of @POScotParl is to defend and protect the SNP. Alison Johnstone could barely disguise her contempt for opposition parties and carefully filtered out inconvenient questions. Gibson has clearly been watching and learning.
The only thing she was preoccupied with during Covid was herself. That's when her self-promotion and narcissism was at its peak. When she wasn't in front of a TV camera, she was deleting her incriminating WhatsApp messages. Always said SNP voters had to be gullible or stupid. You're the living, walking proof.
