Also, support for independence has dipped.

" 52% say they would vote Yes while 48% would vote No. This is lower than in November 2020, when Ipsos MORI/STV polling showed a larger Yes lead (56% Yes/ 44% No)." Image
Nicola Sturgeon's satisfaction ratings are also falling. Ipsos data shows a 16 point fall in her satisfaction numbers when last polled in October 2020.

Meanwhile Scottish Labour voters are inclined toward Sarwar over Lennon: 40% saying he would be best leader, 35% say Lennon. Image
"our poll shows that this issue has started to cut through with Scottish voters" -Emily Gray, Managing Director of Ipsos MORI Scotland.

Not looking too good for Nicola Sturgeon right about now.

Sunday Times has been given details of the unpublished Geoff Aberdein evidence. Folks, it's explosive stuff. So I'll post a short thread:

[1/5]
1. Sturgeon's team were aware of allegations against Salmond potentially from early March. This is despite Sturgeon's insistence on April 2nd date.

Aberdein's evidence would seem to back up Alex Salmond's testimony concerning what Nicola Sturgeon knew, and when. [2/5] Image
2. Aberdein's submission confirms that a name of one of the complainants was passed to Aberdein, who then passed this onto Salmond. Aberdein confirms Salmond's claims at his evidence. [3/5] Image

A short thread about the key points ahead of Salmond's evidence:

1. Sturgeon-Salmond meetings.
The FM claims April 2nd was when she first learned about the allegations into Salmond. However she has subsequently claimed to have 'forgotten' about an earlier March 29 meeting [1/6]
Salmond's submission: “The failure to account for the meeting on 29th March 2018 when making a statement to Parliament, and thereafter failing to correct that false representation is a further breach of the Ministerial Code.”

The dates 29th March & 2nd April are important [2/6]
2. Claims of conspiracy

Salmond has stated a “deliberate, prolonged, malicious and concerted effort” was made to imprison him. He names Peter Murrell, Ian McCann, Sue Ruddick & Liz Lloyd. If he has no evidence to back this up, then he has risked being sued for defamation [3/6]
