[00:00:00]You don't need the Daily Mail or the Daily Express today anymore when they've got Stewart Campbell.

[00:00:04]>> Mhm. Now, one issue that Wings dead raised was this question of the the fighting fund, this almost 600,000 pounds. Now, I appreciate you're not responsible for the finances of the party, but it does seem like if that money is available to be spent, it should be fairly easy for the treasurer to point to a line on a bank statement or on the accounts and say, "There it is." And that would shut down some of this criticism that's come from Wings pretty pretty much permanently. I mean, he would have been shown up for talking nonsense. Um why hasn't the party done that?

[00:00:40]>> Well, look, I think the party has. I think it was a very clear statement from the national treasurer to say that this money is going to be available as and when required. And the I mean, like I I I I don't know about the finances of the party. I'm the wrong person to ask about all this, but if my national treasurer is saying that this money is available and apparently they could be available whenever we need it. And that would would seem to be enough for me, and I think it's enough for most of the party.

[00:01:04]But isn't it strange, you know, like somebody like Stewart Campbell would spend more time discussing the finances of the the Scottish National Party other than the dark money that props up and ensures the survival of the Scottish Conservatives, money that will probably be used to take us on in the independence referendum, which we don't even know where it comes from. All sorts of shady sources. He's more interested in a fund that the national treasurer says is available to us anytime, whenever we want it. And he's trying to create some sort of thing, you know, again about this thing about our our national executive committee, you know, like trying to present this as the evil incarnate is is such a bizarre thing to actually try to get into. And And this is the thing that when we look at people like the SNP bloggers and the SNP bad bloggers, wh- wh- why are they doing this? I mean, what interest does this serve?

[00:01:59]Wouldn't it be better to look at the dark money of the Conservative Party, for example, instead of money that the National Trust says going to be of available whenever required for the source it was given to?

[00:02:09]>> Mhm.
