The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

By outrageously insisting on continuing the bizarre investigation into indyref2 donations, Police Scotland is promoting a circus while failing to bring charges against anyone. Once this spurious case is over, the Scottish Parliament must scrutinize Operation Branch and how investigations were handled.

Pro-establishment narrative

Sturgeon and Murrell, once the hardline leaders of Scotland's election-winning machine, have fallen from grace and dragged the party into its biggest crisis in decades. It's evident that something suspicious has happened within the SNP, especially after a luxury motorhome was seized outside the home of Murrell's mother.
