Former #SNP chief exec #PeterMurrell has been formally charged with thefts amounting to £460,000. https://archive.is/bcajY

The case is #subjudice, and I have no info or view on Murrell's guilt or innocence.

These alleged thefts are huge. As a young lobbyist in the 1980s, I watched in Westminster how some MPs peer-pressured each other into a lavish lifestyle. Some fell into debt; others lived modestly. What will the trial reveal about the lifestyle of #Holyrood's political class?

Any chance we'll see this trial before the Scottish Parliament elections next year?

A reminder that Operation Branchform has been going on since July 2021. If we don't have a trial soon it will be a full 5 years and no outcome.
