Sunday Times has been given details of the unpublished Geoff Aberdein evidence.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]
[1/5]
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]

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]
3. Sturgeon at FMQs (25th Feb 2021) claimed "to the very best of my knowledge, I do not think that happened.". Sadly for her the Geof Aberdein evidence, all submitted under oath, seems to confirm that a complainant's name WAS given to Salmond via Aberdein. [4/5]
4. Jackie Baillie MSP: "In any other employment situation, if a complainant’s name was leaked, it would be a matter of gross misconduct. This would be a most extraordinary breach of confidentiality"
She is not wrong. But nobody has apologised or resigned over any of this. [5/5]
