I was one of a number of members elected on a manifesto to deliver better transparency and scrutiny over the party's finances and governance.
I'm sad to say we failed to do that, and it wasn't for the want of trying.
I just regret it's come to this. I would like those who stood in the way of reform back in 2020-21 to reflect on what they've done.

To many people, it will look like this convicted rapist has gamed the system in order to try and garner sympathy, and to end up in a women's prison. And I think a lot of people will be shocked by that.
So I think we should be talking about these cases. And women in prison are very vulnerable. Many women in prison have themselves been abused, and have suffered injuries over the years. ... But the point about human rights is that they're universal, and they apply to everyone. So I'm very concerned about the safety of women prisoners, with whom a convicted rapist has been placed.
And under Scots law, the crime of rape can only be committed by somebody with a penis, and that's a man. And I think we should call out what's happened here.

I have little doubt that this new law will be weaponised by trans rights activists to try to silence, and worse still, criminalise women who do not share their beliefs.
A cursory look at social media shows that some of these activists already have one high profile woman in Scotland in their sights. Experience shows that working class women will also be targeted.
There is no right not be offended but the muddled discourse about these issues currently in the public domain does not make that clear.
