This is the most telling part of the Green motion backed by the SNP to avoid an inquiry into Peter Murrell.
Holyrood doesn't actually have the power to turn the recommendations of their proposed review into law.
It's an impotent sideshow.
Democracy in action, folks

@DMScotPol for @MailOnlineScot
John Swinney and his ‘Green lapdogs' have sparked fury by 'shamefully' blocking a Holyrood Inquiry into the Peter Murrell scandal.

If @ScotParl does opt for a Publicly funded independent inquiry into political party finances then it should also ensure it is scheduled for FOI.

Newbie SNP MSP Kate Campbell has just told the Holyrood chamber that the recent election was one 'that, frankly, we had no business winning after 19 years in government', but they did.
Interesting contribution

Equally eyebrow-raising rant from ex-SpAd Jack Middleton who claimed 'every SNP backbencher' is 'holding the Scottish Government to account'.
Cue much laughter

SNP cab sec Shirley-Anne Somerville facing Qs over her stint as SNP deputy CEO under Peter Murrell.
During Somerville's 2.5 years in post, Murrell embezzled almost £7k and bought 54 stolen items inc a £1,299 coffee machine and £1,199 telescope.
She denies seeing anything iffy

John Swinney also under fire for backing Peter Murrell just minutes after he resigned in disgrace over the SNP's fake membership scandal in March 2023.
Despite his old pal leaving under a cloud, the future FM praised his 'enormous contibution' to the party.

Concerns also raised over John Swinney’s own role in the SNP financial scandal after he backed the “sound stewardship” of the party’s long-serving treasurer.

Don't think John Swinney will thank @PeteWishart for saying Murrell affair belongs to 'the jurisdiction of the Scottish Parliament' as FM tries to argue Scottish Parliament should reject an inquiry into it
Jun 7
As a former Chair I've written to the SAC cautioning them not to impose an inquiry on the Murrell prosecution. Select committees work best when they work consensually in cross party inquiry and this is beyond remit. It took one side in the indyref and lost credibility as a result
