Andy Burnham has secured a thumping victory in the Makerfield by-election – but is it game over for Keir Starmer?With a critical few days ahead, attention now turns to Labour's cabinet ministers, MPs and party members. Who could make the first move to oust the Prime Minister?Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy have inside information from team Burnham and assess whether a ‘bloodless coup' is really possible or whether rivals like Wes Streeting could disrupt the plan?Is this really Labour's last chance to reconnect with voters and could Andy Burnham reset the party's fortunes?Plus: are the Conservatives showing signs of a comeback after their surprise win in Aberdeen South?Is the SNP continuing to pay the political price for the fallout from the Peter Murrell saga?

Peter Murrell’s case is a major political scandal because it involves top leadership, undermines trust in a governing party, exposes weaknesses in financial oversight. A political operative’s yearslong scheme to embezzle party funds has become a source of anger and embarrassment in Scotland, but not entirely for the reasons you might think. Short answer, No. Don’t leave it running at your normal cool temperature all day. But also don’t always shut it completely off either. The best strategy is a middle ground approach: Turn it off or turn it up when you’re away. Then cool the house before you get back.

The Scottish Parliament is running, but is it actually getting anything done? In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver dive into a massive week for Scottish politics.As Scottish Labour forces a vote on a parliamentary inquiry into Peter Murrell's embezzlement from the SNP, First Minister John Swinney faces intense pressure over his handling of the situation. Should he have brought in a KC to clean house, or is he right to treat it as "case closed"? We break down the constitutional battle brewing as Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee threatens to step in.Plus, we expose a glaring economic contradiction at the heart of the Scottish Government: debating wealth taxes one week and demanding economic growth the next. We also react to a brilliant, straight-talking 6-point listener manifesto for the SNP, debate the failure of elected committee conveners, and unpack the transport chaos plaguing Scotland.

The conviction of former SNP Chief Executive Peter Murrell has sent shockwaves through Scottish politics and raised serious questions about financial oversight, leadership responsibility and public trust.In this episode of Crime Time Inc., former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the embezzlement case that dominated headlines across Scotland. Drawing on decades of investigative experience, they explore how breaches of trust develop, why embezzlement often goes undetected for years, and what warning signs organisations frequently miss.Tom and Simon compare the SNP case with real investigations from their policing careers, including thefts involving trusted employees, family-run businesses and compulsive offenders whose behaviour defied logic. They discuss the difference between crimes driven by need, greed and psychological compulsion, and analyse the extraordinary purchasing patterns revealed during the investigation.The conversation also turns to leadership accountability, internal financial controls, governance failures and the responsibilities of those entrusted with managing large organisations and public donations.In the second half of the episode, the hosts address the tragic rise in child and teenage drowning deaths across the UK. They discuss water safety, cold water shock, risk-taking behaviour among young people, and whether schools and parents are doing enough to prepare children for everyday dangers.A thought-provoking discussion on crime, trust, responsibility and the lessons that organisations and families ignore at their peril.The discussion also examines the wider implications of Operation Branchform, the investigation into Scottish National Party finances, and the questions raised about oversight during the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon. Drawing on their experience as former detectives, Tom Wood and Simon McLean provide insight into how fraud investigations develop, why financial controls fail, and what lessons organisations can learn from high-profile cases. The episode concludes with an important discussion on water safety, drowning prevention and the risks of cold water immersion.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the SNP Embezzlement Case01:20 How Embezzlement Typically Begins05:44 A Detective's Real-Life £74,000 Theft Investigation09:40 Need, Greed and Compulsive Theft16:37 The Strange Psychology of Criminal Behaviour18:45 Comparing Major Financial Crime Cases21:14 Leadership Accountability and Governance Failures23:58 Water Safety and Preventable Tragedies25:46 Why Young People Are Most at Risk28:13 The Green Cross Code and Safety LessonsAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

In this week's edition of the News Review on the PRmoment podcast, host Ben Smith, is joined by industry heavyweights Mark Borkowski and Angie Moxham to dissect one of the most significant political crisis management events of the year: Nicola Sturgeon's high-stakes sit-down interview with Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC. Following her estranged husband Peter Murrell's recent guilty plea to embezzling over £400,000 from the SNP, the former First Minister faced an intense 55-minute interrogation aimed at shifting the narrative from political complicity to personal betrayal.Ben kicks off the discussion by questioning whether the interview succeeded in separating Sturgeon's personal reputation from the unfolding financial scandal of the party she led for nearly a decade. Mark Borkowski offers a sharp critique of the crisis communications strategy, noting that while Sturgeon's performance was emotionally raw—particularly when discussing a £425 necklace bought with stolen funds—it ultimately struggled under the weight of incredulity. He argues that her core defense—claiming she had no "conscious memory" of a massive motorhome parked outside her mother-in-law's house—strained public belief, leaving the "brand" of Sturgeon severely damaged despite her formidable media skills.Angie Moxham shifts the lens toward the gender dynamics and long-term reputational impact. Moxham observes that Sturgeon deliberately weaponized a highly relatable narrative: the trope of a successful woman being unfairly blamed for the hidden, fraudulent actions of the man in her life. While Angie acknowledges that this framing could resonate strongly with a core segment of the public and female voters, she questions whether it can truly repair the massive trust deficit currently facing the SNP. Moxham analyzes how the "personal vs. political" mashup plays out for independent brand survival, noting that Sturgeon's insistence that she is “serving a sentence for a crime I did not commit” effectively positions her as the primary victim, eclipsing the independence donors whose money was actually taken.The panel agrees that while the BBC gave Sturgeon the necessary space to outline her trauma and bewilderment, the interview highlights the near-impossible task of separating a leader's legacy from systemic organizational failure. Ultimately, the review concludes that while Sturgeon successfully reminded the public of her formidable communication prowess, the sheer volume of high-value goods involved makes an absolute reputational recovery unlikely.Finally, Ben closes the segment with an important industry notice, urging listeners to submit their entries for the upcoming Creative Moment Awards before the final entry deadline on June 19th.You can watch the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg Interview to see the exact moment Nicola Sturgeon addresses the embezzlement scandal and discusses the personal toll it has taken on her life.

Fast cars, luxury watches – and, of course, that motorhome: the list of what former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell bought with embezzled funds is dizzying. Severin Carrell reports.. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

Peter Murrell, the former chief executive of the SNP and estranged husband of Nicola Sturgeon, has admitted embezzling more than £400,000 from the Scottish National Party. Which is quite a sentence, even by the standards of modern politics, where the bar is now lying somewhere in a ditch wearing a hi-vis jacket.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the Peter Murrell SNP scandal, the political fallout for Nicola Sturgeon, and the bigger question facing Scottish nationalism: how did a party that wanted to govern an independent Scotland fail to notice what was happening inside its own finances?This is not an episode claiming Nicola Sturgeon committed a crime. She denies knowledge of Murrell's actions and has been cleared by police. But politics is not only about criminal guilt. It is also about responsibility, judgement, leadership, culture, and whether the people at the top were really as in control as they claimed to be. And that, frankly, is where the story becomes more interesting, and rather less comfortable.We discuss the SNP's long-standing image as the clean, competent alternative to Westminster, the collapse of that moral authority, Operation Branchform, the infamous motorhome, party trust, Scottish independence, political accountability, and the strange spectacle of a nationalist movement damaged not by Westminster oppression, but by its own internal chaos.There is also a Bible verse, naturally, because Mark and Pete are not here merely to gawp at the wreckage like political pigeons. Proverbs says, “He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.” That seems uncomfortably apt.So what did Nicola Sturgeon know? What should she have known? And what does the Peter Murrell embezzlement case tell us about the SNP, Scottish politics, and the danger of confusing political confidence with actual competence?A sharp, Christian, sardonic look at one of the biggest political scandals in recent Scottish history.

Well, it seems the big men being laid low is the theme of the moment. Lesley and Fraser are back to discuss a busy week. Lesley has been in all parts, taking in the incredible Orkney Folk Festival and witnessing the seamless infrastructure of the Netherlands, before returning to the rather less seamless Edinburgh Airport. Back in Scotland, the Peter Murrell narrative has been laid out, leaving many in the Yes movement feeling directionless. We look at the abject failure of governance within the SNP. Plus, a look down South at the latest Mandelson revalations.In this episode, we discuss:Orkney and the Netherlands: Lesley reflects on a week of incredible, volunteer-led musicianship at the Orkney Folk Festival. We also compare the well-maintained, cycle-friendly infrastructure of the Netherlands with the sad state of Edinburgh Airport's rolled-up corrugated paper door wedges.Operation Hingaboot Mark II: A large crowd gathered outside Holyrood for the Section 30 request vote. We discuss the ongoing disconnect between the SNP corporate leadership and the grassroots Yes movementPeter Murrell and SNP Governance: Following Peter Murrell's guilty plea, we unpack the agreed narrative of financial mismanagement. We examine the culture of deference that allowed £12,500 of Apple products and a £3,500 silver wine coaster to be coded without curiosity, and how those who tried to raise concerns—like the "Good Guys" slate on the NEC and members of the Finance and Audit Committee—were sidelined and frustrated.Labour's Leaks and Leadership: The latest document dump reveals damning WhatsApp connections between Peter Mandelson and Pat McFadden, who seems to lament the idea of taxing to pay benefits. With Keir Starmer's slow-moving demise, Andy Burnham's by-election date set, and Tony Blair wading into the policy debate, Labour is looking increasingly rudderless.Education and NEETs: Reflecting on Alan Milburn's report on young people not in employment, education, or training. We compare the UK's approach to the Dutch system's high engagement in vocational education and the need for a shift away from traditional, purely academic routes.LinksHighland Clearances; communities fight back - CrowdfunderClearance site event at Rosal on June 12th-14th June ★ Support this podcast ★If you're enjoying the podcast, you can become a pal or a buddy to help keep the pod going by heading to leslieriddock.com/podcast and following the links to subscribe. ★ Support this podcast ★

Í Heimsglugganum heyrðum við í Burkard von Müllenheim-Rechberg sem var hæst settur þeirra sjóliðsforingja sem komust lífs af er orrustuskipinu Bismarck var sökkt 1941. Hann var fyrsti ræðismaður Vestur-Þýskalands á Íslandi eftir stríðið. Peter Murrell, fyrrverandi framkvæmdastjóri Skoska þjóðarflokksins, og eiginmaður Nicolu Sturgeon, fyrsta ráðherra Skotlands, hefur viðurkennt fjárdrátt upp á 166 milljónir króna. Hjónabandi Murrells og Sturgeon er lokið og hún kveðst ekki hafa vitað um fjárdrátt eiginmannsins og rannsókn hafi leitt í ljós sakleysi hennar. Í Svíþjóð hefur stjórnarandstaðan tæplega 10 prósentustiga forskot á stjórnarflokkana en kosið verður til þings 13. september. 53,9 prósent segjast styðja stjórnarandstöðuflokka í nýrri könnun, 44,2 prósent kveðast ætla að kjósa einhvern stjórnarflokkanna. Í lokin var rætt um stöðuna í átökum Bandaríkjanna og Írans og möguleika á friðarsamningum.

The guilty plea has revived questions about what senior figures in the SNP knew, how long the scandal had been going on, and what happens next. To discuss the story, including some of the ridiculous purchases including a couple of hairdryers (for a bald man) and £2600 salt and pepper shakers, James Heale and Michael Simmons join Megan McElroy.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Peter Murrell's mafia-style SNP & could the Reform-Restore feud hand Burnham Makerfield?This week: the Peter Murrell scandal and the collapse of the SNP's moral authority. After Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband and the party's former chief executive pleaded guilty to embezzling more than £400,000 from SNP funds, Michael and Madeline ask what this reveals about the party that dominated Scottish politics for more than a decade. Was this simply one man's disgrace – or a symptom of a political machine that had grown too powerful, too closed and too complacent?Also on the podcast: the growing split on the right. As Rupert Lowe's Restore threatens to divide the Reform vote in the Makerfield by-election, could Andy Burnham be saved by a battle between Nigel Farage and his former allies?And finally: the rise of the well-worriers. From Zoe and Oura rings to sleep scores, glucose monitors and heart-rate variability, the middle classes are no longer just trying to be healthy – they are trying to measure every flicker of human existence. Is all this self-tracking making us fitter, or just more neurotic? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fraser and Lesley rush to the microphones for an unexpected, emergency podcast following Peter Murrell's guilty plea in Edinburgh.  With Lesley literally broadcasting from a hotel car park in Wick on her way to the mass rally outside Holyrood, we unpack what this catastrophic pivot moment means for the SNP and the wider independence movement.  In this episode, we discuss:The "Smoke-Filled Room": Why did the party choose to ignore the glaringly obvious warning signs for so long? * The Closed-Shop Legacy: Reflecting on the Sturgeon-Murrell era and how internal critics like Joanna Cherry and Douglas Chapman were sidelined.Corporate Festival vs. Grassroots Campaigning: How the party tilt shifted toward "Heathrow Lounges" and away from its own members.Taking Back the Mojo: Why the Yes movement needs to become a self-organising, self-authorising force rather than waiting on a nod from ANY party HQ. ★ Support this podcast ★
