I think it will be the early chap at the door.
How can she sleep at night knowing that one morning your going to be arrested

She probably can't.

I bet there are a fair few of them having sleepless nights at the moment - there's no way HY and others didn't know about this.

Sugarfree23 · 19/04/2023 15:37

Do you think HY will be before NS?

Viviennemary · 19/04/2023 15:52

Is this all rumour. First I have heard of it.

What, the whole story?

Viviennemary · 19/04/2023 15:59

No. Sorry. I meant Nicola Sturgeon about to be arrested at any minute.

She would be given advance warning. I'm fairly sure she knew Murrell was going to be arrested so she left prior to it happening

I see the usual nat cultists on Twitter are saying the SNP are under attack by the British security forces. 🙈🙈🙈

She must be questioned. She was stand-in treasurer before Colin took over again. I think she was treasurer when Peter made the loan that she apparently knew nothing about. She is in this up to her oxters. The sleekit lying cow deserves every sleepless night she gets - and more.

I didn’t realise that! 😮

Viviennemary · 19/04/2023 16:28

That video of her telling everyone to keep quiet about party funds was erm a little bit telling. Why would they need to keep quiet if there was nothing to hide.

Reliable accounts on Twitter and some of the main media are reporting it, or suggesting it may be the next steps as they need to be careful when reporting it, obviously.

There was definitely Twitter chat about this happening long before it actually did, so there’s no way NS didn’t know before resigning.

TokyoSushi · 19/04/2023 16:42

Twitter seems to think Beattie has quit at Treasurer. Not sure how he could continue though really...

Quite, he should have been sacked as treasurer and suspended from the party.

TokyoSushi · 19/04/2023 16:55

Well exactly, not sure why HY is doing precisely nothing! The should all be suspended!

Sky News now saying this too

Or at least while investigation

Sturgeon is the only one of the three officers that signed off the accounts not to be arrested yet. Surely she will need to be questioned? I can't see how she can't be?

I haven’t seen that anywhere? He took straight back over in May 21 when Chapman quit in complaint did he not - Murrells loan was June so under Beattie as treasurer.

ThatsGenderwang · 19/04/2023 17:05

So Beattie has 'suspended' himself?

Claridges12 · 19/04/2023 17:07

The current leadership of the party presumably have access to expert legal advice. They should be taking that advice and acting on it. It's not rocket science.

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 19/04/2023 17:15

ThatsGenderwang · 19/04/2023 17:07

Show quote history

Either way it sounds like she definitely wasn’t treasurer mid June when the loan was made as the PP implied.

I think there’s enough dodgy shit went down without adding extras to it. Especially as those kind of speculation/allegation could get the thread closed. Which would be a shame as there’s some really knowledgeable posters on this one.

I don't think I've seen anyone age as quickly as Humza in the last few weeks!

I think it's safe to say the SNP are on the ropes and I'm actually very glad that many (including my friends) are having the blinkers fall from their eyes.

Just saw him on Reporting Scotland and thought he looked terrible. Looks like he hasn't slept for days!

If you dance with the devil then you need to remember he calls the tune - he wanted the job, he knew what was going on and I have no sympathy for him.
