Hmm. This was @theSNP furiously briefing against my story four weeks ago which revealed the party had lost 30,000 members. The SNP today confirms it has lost…30,000 members.

This says it all about the original drivel: “The 30,000 figure that was reported is not just flat wrong, it’s wrong by about 30,000.” #TartanBollocks

💥Even as Neil Gray u-turns and admits our story was true, he continues to mislead… He says “my phone was in my pocket” - that is not the case. His phone was in his hand and he was looking at it as he told the meeting he was in the queue for Oasis tickets .

Multiple sources have confirmed to me an accelerated timetable for @theSNP leadership election was 100percent driven by @PeterMurrell. If his arrest and a police search of he and @NicolaSturgeon’s house came before voting opened would the continuity candidate have cut it?

Sorry Neil, it’s not nonsense. The session was underway. An expert panel member had spoken in serious terms about dementia and hope for the future. You checked your phone and said you were trying to buy Oasis tickets ‘on multiple devices’, and added ‘I hope I get these tickets’.

Just to confirm this is total nonsense. In intros to a fringe session I was chairing another panellist jokingly referred to Oasis tickets. I said like so many I was in the queue, but felt Half the World Away from getting any. People laughed & we went into the serious business 1/3

A problem for the world is that well meaning but desperately inexperienced politicians end up in a room surrounded by bankers with a pen in their hand signing things they don’t really understand

For years Jordan Linden was promoted by the SNP despite persistent sexual harassment claims. Alleged victims were ignored. Those who raised concerns found themselves demoted and sidelined. This is an all too familiar pattern.

💥So the Sunday Mail story wasn’t ‘total nonsense’ as Health Secretary Neil Gray claimed. Will he now apologise ?

💥Despite experiencing racism frequently @HumzaYousaf has fought prejudice consistently and is one of the least racist people I can imagine. @elonmusk’s repeated attacks are moronic. Humza is right. He’s been radicalised by his own platform. Teslas are becoming very uncool

Nicola Sturgeon had almost two years to give her version of events between the police investigation beginning and the matter being active for the purposes of the contempt of court act.

Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon describes "frustration" over not being able to give her version of events on SNP finances. "I could not have anticipated in my worst nightmares what would've unfolded over the past few weeks." bbc.in/2HXkxkV

This ridiculous attempt by @NicolaSturgeon to talk around her party’s lies makes you wonder if you can believe a word @theSNP HQ has ever said.
