vikingTON Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 12 minutes ago, Crùbag said: Hopefully the membership stooshie stirred up by Forbes and Regan will be the death knell of their careers - not to mention Labour and Tory quoting them in their propaganda against ScotGov. Who cares how many members the party has? They could easily have got info on voter numbers internally and kept it all in-house. To keep it all safely in-house, you really shouldn't let the former FM's husband - sitting under an enormous cloud of accusations - continue to run the party. The only look for the SNP until the slaphead leaves is maximum transparency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares how many members the party has? They could easily have got info on voter numbers internally and kept it all in-house. Ditto other parties. How many members Labour and Tory have is the least of the problems I have with these two arsecheeks. Also sad, but not surprising, to hear the BBC wheel out that fat sex-pest Salmond to further keep the fire burning on the membeship issue. That's Alba who garnered 0.6% of the vote FFS... "My Party Wrong or Wrong" stuff from you, here. This thread has more than a whiff of the early days of the BRALT about it. When @bennett and I were saying, "Naw, it can't be that bad". Turns out, it was actually much worse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it was out by a factor of 10. Another human sacrifice to protect the charlatan in chief Murrell? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-64993032 With Liz Llloyd off for a well earned rest it's not been a great day all round. Pete Murrell must surely be off to spend more time with his magpies shortly. If this loyalty from senior staff continues you will have a puppet winning the leadership contest and nobody left to pull his strings 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt about it, whoever gave Foote outright lies to share with us must be booted out before they get the chance to leave with a severance payment. Once again, the seagulls being trawled and tweeting (if seagulls can) about treachery might like to consider what would drive sober contributors to regretfully call these things out. If you've already impetuously cast your vote for continuity, well done you. Clumsy Yousaf doesn't have the wit to rise above it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're watching Last Days of Rome stuff, Welshy. I've thought, for a while, that the party should bring down Sturgeon. I lost a bet a couple of years back in mispredicting her demise. You should have listened to me as what we're seeing now is Sturgeon bringing down the party.

The sort of person you find in many corporate environments that climbs the ladder by being mates with the decision maker and doing their bidding. In that respect he has done well with Sturgeon and been loyal to her. He might just work with someone like Murrell at the helm who has buttoned down many of the key decision makers. Building his own team and holding it together is a different ask entirely 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
