The turning tide

SNP internal party election for their NEC.

The women's convener Rhiannon Spear (supports GRA reform, patronises women in a head tilt way about being misinformed or misled by shadowy online bots) has been ousted from her role by the SNP Women's pledge organiser Caroline McAllister.

Just savour that for a while 😎

Alyn Smith MP (whose ex partner posted a private message online from Joanna Cherry to Smith asking him to 'have a word' with his (now ex) partner to stop the abuse & harassment she was being subjected to) has also lost his role as policy development convener.

While this is Scottish politics, and a bit niche in terms of internal NEC set up, this is quite a significant shift & a concrete representation of the unpopularity of what those 2 people represented.

So here's to turning tides 🥂

Others are already dummy-throwing about leaving for the Greens.

Snort.

Love it.

Very pleased to see Fiona Robertson out from the Equalities Convener too, and the wonderful pro-women Lynne Anderson in instead.

This is very good news.

Do we know yet what the 6 hour delay was all about?

Yes, it's been a long time coming. Hopefully the newly elected NEC can re-right the ship.

If you want to see some real sky-is-falling rhetoric over the results, check out the Twitter accounts for YSI and Out For Indy. Others are already dummy-throwing about leaving for the Greens.
