“So if the only way to unseat her is to vote for someone who leaves a bad taste in the mouth, then that will be a hardship you will just have to go through.Īnd of course this is all assumptions, because next week the First Minister might resign.”Įven if she resigns, it will be defiantly, calling for the voters to give their verdict. What would people’s feelings be about a vehicle convoy on Holyrood? And when would be the best time to hold it. There really, really needs to be a public – Covid safe – protest about this.
Lets get the boil lance, and the leg fully amputated, and get on with indy.

I really, really hope this week brings about the full scouring. Pigeons coming home to roost right enough. Well done the candidates who are taking legal action over the gerrymandering. Wow.īut then again, if you’re going to line your pockets and burn the house down – why do it in dribs and drabs, better to just get stuck in and fill your boots. Wow, so, if true, it looks as if the suspicioun that they used the £600,000 to pay off the overdraft, is incorrect – they never even did that (which would at least have been fiscally sensible – if not exactly morally correct from an accountancy point of view). ‘We’re told that some of the unease over the party’s finances is due to what are apparently “massive” bank charges, which suggest that it may be running an overdraft, although we can’t verify that part for certain yet.’ So far, we understand that those complaining have only sent lawyer’s letters and no actual court action has yet been initiated. We’re also told that a number of members have threatened the party with legal action over the recent regional-list candidate selections, which the party’s lawyers told them were probably illegal and would be (expensively) defeated if challenged in court. [EDIT 5.24pm: We’re told that some of the unease over the party’s finances is due to what are apparently “massive” bank charges, which suggest that it may be running an overdraft, although we can’t verify that part for certain yet. We’ll bring you more on this breaking story as we get it.
We gather that the three are Frank Ross (a qualified chartered accountant and current Lord Provost of Edinburgh Council), Livingston company director Cynthia Guthrie and the Mid Scotland & Fife NEC member Allison Graham. Wings has received no reply to the letter we sent on behalf of some concerned members to party treasurer Douglas Chapman on the subject more than two months ago.) (The SNP infamously claimed it was “woven through” the figures. We don’t yet know if it’s specifically in relation to the missing £600,000 in “ringfenced” fundraiser money that was supposed to have been earmarked for use in a second independence referendum campaign but which cannot be identified in the records of a party whose last published accounts showed only £97,000 in the bank. Word reaches us from this afternoon’s meeting of the SNP NEC that three members of the Finance & Audit Committee ( ie about half of it, we believe) have resigned on the basis that they’re responsible for the party’s finances but are unable to carry out their duties as chief executive Peter Murrell refuses to give them access to the books.
