In October 2023, Alex Salmond took to the stage of Alba's 2023 conference in Glasgow, theatrically brandishing what he claimed was a "black dossier" containing unspecified evidence of unspecified wrongdoing by unnamed individuals. He insisted this supposed evidence meant he was justified in nullifying the results of the party's internal elections - something he had no authority to do under Alba's constitution. But his story simply wasn't true, and he later admitted that no dossier ever existed. There was in fact a very different and much more malicious reason for voiding the election results. In the video below, I can for the first time reveal in full what those results actually were. I also have more information about why Gail Hendry, the sister of Mr Salmond, dramatically resigned from the Alba NEC last week. And there's a fascinating nugget about how Morgwn Davies, who was deselected as an Alba list candidate for Holyrood on the demand of the acting party chair, should now be automatically offered a place on the NEC on exactly the same "lucky loser" basis that Shannon Donoghue got her own place, due to the vacancies caused by recent resignations. But will the party rules be followed, or will Morgwn be stitched up yet again? The latter seems much more likely somehow.
