This is the second time that Scotland has, in effect self hobbled.

Section 35 a #ScotlandAct clause #Salmond signed country to be bound by & used to kill our 2022 #SelfID Bill.

Now; "Incompetence" of #HolyroodLawyers drafting in clauses enabling a sincerely drafted Bill to procedurally collapse.

Nicola Sturgeon Claims Alex Salmond Sought Retaliation Over Harassment Complaints Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon accused her predecessor Alex Salmond of pursuing a 'revenge mission' after the Scottish government's handling of harassment complaints against him. In a February 2021 interview with James Hamilton, her independent adviser on the ministerial code, Sturgeon suggested that Salmond stirred a 'hornet's nest' by contacting government officials regarding allegations of inappropriate behavior at Edinburgh Airport in 2017. Salmond successfully sued the government in 2019 for mishandling these complaints. Salmond later claimed Sturgeon made false statements about the investigation and that a leak to the Daily Record could only have originated from her office or advisers. Sturgeon denied knowledge of any leaks in her memoir. The Scottish government has faced legal action for failing to release documents related to Hamilton's inquiry on time, with the Information Commissioner initiating proceedings. The row over document publication began after a freedom of information request in 2021, and ministers have faced repeated delays in making evidence publicly available. Salmond, who passed away in 2024, was previously cleared of sexually assaulting nine women. The latest release of documents includes nearly 5,000 pages, some heavily redacted. Critics argue the government spent significant public funds attempting to prevent disclosure, while others view the release as a step toward transparency and accountability.

I learned last week she'd been granted anonymity but a very high profile GC (uncertain whom atm) named her then named her again adding "Whoops". In a Scottish criminal case that would bring perjury action and jail - per attempted prosecution witness revelation in #Salmond trial. [9 months]

I hadn't realised #BethUpton had been granted anonymity but a very high profile GC named her then named her again with "whoops" comment. That must have been because it was a tribunal.

Maybe the Salmond camp could lay off his victims and drop the court case and then he can rest in peace?
