If she resigns would Sarwar have the balls to stand in the seat? He stood in that seat in 2021 and lost to Sturgeon. He says he election ready. Would be great to see a leader of Scottish Labour with some courage after going into hiding on GRR.

Run in Sturgeons constituency if she quits. He made a big thing about last election. Will he go for it this time? Would take political courage. Salmond did it in 2007. Or will he bottle it?

He has an elected seat already. The sensible thing to do is let another candidate stand to try to increase the vote share. He'll no doubt run again for a constiuency seat when the next election is held. Maybe he'll run in a more marginal seat like Humza's, he seems to be doing a fair bit of meeting and greeting there just now.

Ooft. That wings radge was saying the last few days to watch out for this happening.

[Ozyhibby]

Yousaf should suspend Beattie and Murrell pending an investigation. He needs to show he is getting a grip of the situation.

This seems massive. I'll be interested as I like a lot of common weal stuff.

She should have been given a large role in government she's clearly the second most visible politician in Scotland now, Humza should have had her on the inside.

Michelle Thompson was suspended as soon as she was arrested , it doesn't mean there is guilt. No charges were made against her so they voted her back into the party

Why does the BBC put "cash flow" in quotes in that article?

Beattie is my MSP and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

Yep, seems to have a direct line to what's happening at the black heart of the party.

And that can be the same now. Suspension just protects the party in the meantime.
Wish he would grasp this. Today’s education announcement is a step in the right direction. More of the same.
Soon he will need to deal with the fact that the partnership with the Greens is doomed due to the arithmetic on HPMA’s. Better to be on the front foot on that rather than just react when it hits.

That's the main take from the story for sure...

FYI though it relates to the quote the SNP gave to explain the Murrell loan.

Or perhaps someone in the police investigation is leaking info to him?

Did I say it was my main take?* It just seems strange, almost like using air quotes to imply that something is not true. Are you suggesting they've put it in quotes because it's a quote from the SNP?

*Defensive response.

But he wouldn't be running against the former FM. I suspect you may not have Labour's interests at heart!

It’s ok not to have confidence in your ability. Especially if your Anas Sarwar.

Does the power not sit with the Party Secretary?

I suppose one question for an interested observer is the party’s relationship with the external lawyer brought in at presumably no small cost. Does that mean their workload has now gone up and more of your membership fees are paying for that?

Has the SNP even told its members how much this is costing them?

I think the party not telling members things is at the heart of our difficulties which is why I want Yousaf to get a grip.
In a situation like this, I have no problem with hiring legal advice. It’s unavoidable. Most members would agree.

Sounds like you don't have confidence in the FM's ability. Pointing the finger at Anas to deflect your concerns??

That literally answered none of the three questions in my post!

You‘ve been lined up to be the next party treasurer, haven’t you? 😀
