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.

Additional quotes by Joanna Cherry

I'm glad to hear that Mridul Wadhwa is no longer the CEO of Rape Crisis Edinburgh but the appalling culture over which this man who identifies as a woman presided goes much deeper. This should not be an end of the matter. Others need to consider their position.

A political party that allows male members to harass and abuse female members, including elected parliamentarians, without any censure whatsoever is not progressive. Those who run the SNP and indeed the Scottish Greens, the Labour party and the Liberal Democrats need to understand that men who abuse women and threaten violence against them often act on those threats. The conviction of former SNP branch equalities officer Cameron Downing for serious sexual assaults has underlined this eternal truth. This man was feted by some within the SNP despite repeatedly threatening extreme violence to feminists. The deafening silence since his conviction is shameful.
