The dwindling SNP supporters have grown old and white haired as they await delivery of the SNP’s imaginary land of milk and honey. They are all so tired listening to the usual SNP garbage they fall asleep or have dropped off the edge.

SNP government in action:
Victoria Quay in Edinburgh is a massive government office which costs £2.4 million a year to run, can accommodate 2,200 employees — and these days is largely deserted.
Only 36 workers had turned up to their office by 9am on Friday last week, just 50 by 9.30am. The vast majority of desks remained unoccupied for the rest of the day.
No wonder SNP-run public services, despite the massive funding they enjoy courtesy of Westminster, are notorious for their poor quality and failure.

It’s not so long since she was threatening SNP NEC members with having to hand over our phones for examination, her primary concern being leaks rather than seeking answers to the questions some of us were asking about the finances. It’s quite the turnaround on “transparency”.

1/ On the question of currency in an independent Scotland, the SNP prefers to obfuscate rather than explain.
This morning, Alyn Smith unveiled the latest obfuscation. An independent Scotland would commit to adopting the euro, but put the final step to a confirmatory referendum.

This stinks to the high heavens - bevvying with a lawyer representing Covid families some of whom died following the Scottish Govt’s policy of discharging Covid + patients into care homes - it’s all such a laugh isn’t it @NicolaSturgeon

John Swinney is wilfully mis-representing what Andy Burnham was saying. We don’t have much detail but his point was that political and fiscal power has become too centralised in Edinburgh and London. He is correct. Scotland is one of the most centralised countries in Europe with very weak (non-existant in practice) *local* government. Scottish Parliament has removed many competencies that local authorities enjoyed back in 1999.
John Swinney had been actively engaged is this centralisation over the past 25 years from his threats to take away education from local authorities to his years of enforcing a council tax freeze and the creation of national police snd fire services.
It is actually John Swinney who is in no position to lecture anyone on these matters.

If what this SNP branch secretary says is true - that the party's in-house solicitor knew (and was discussing) problems with SNP finances three YEARS before Murrell's arrest - that blows Swinney's paper-thin "we're the victims, nothing more to see here" routine out of the water.

John Swinney refuses to apologise to whistleblowers who raised concerns about SNP finances in 2020 and 2021.

🚨Brian Taylor trotted out to give it large but in a sombre voice "I thought I knew Peter Murrell pretty well turns out I like others including his ex wife just didn't really know him at all" 🤡 Utterly embarrassing but so predictable. Ronald Villiers would be more convincing!

EXC: I asked Sean Clerkin, the man whose initial complaint triggered the investigation into Peter Murrell, whether he has a message for Nicola Sturgeon.

Peter Murrell may be in prison but the scandal surrounding his crime spree roars on and it could yet bring down First Minister John Swinney. I wrote this for @spectator: spectator.com/article/the-mu…

The snooty outrage of a disgruntled 18th-century duchess forced to interact with the peasantry.
