SNP finances under scrutiny as Cherry accuses Sturgeon of oversight amid Murrell embezzlement

Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell admitted embezzling about £400,000 from the SNP, prompting calls for an independent inquiry into party finances. Joanna Cherry accused Nicola Sturgeon of a remarkable lack of curiosity about governance, saying attempts to scrutinize funds were frustrated and that concerns raised in 2019 about a ring-fenced referendum fund were not properly addressed. Sturgeon says she had no knowledge of Murrell’s crimes, while SNP leaders acknowledged the breach of trust and pledged accountability.

This comes after uproar in the Commons when Sir Lindsay allowed a vote on a Labour amendment to the SNP's ceasefire motion, leading to accusations of playing "party politics" with the vote.
