SNP Westminster leader Dave Doogan rejects calls for a Westminster-led inquiry into Alex Murrell. Speaking as pressure builds for the Scottish Affairs Committee to examine allegations that Murrell embezzled money from the SNP, Doogan says an inquiry of that kind would be a “party political stunt” and an “unprecedented abuse.” Multiple reports describe his stance as dismissive of the move and frame the opposition as a response to what he portrays as politicised scrutiny rather than a substantive investigation. The calls being made would involve the Scottish Affairs Committee conducting an inquiry into Murrell’s conduct. Doogan’s comments are presented as criticism of the process and the motivations behind it, rather than a direct response to specific findings. The coverage focuses on the political dispute over whether Westminster should investigate the matter and highlights Doogan’s characterisation of the proposal as exaggerated and unfair. Overall, the reports agree on the central point: Doogan condemns the proposed Westminster inquiry and labels it politically motivated.
