Overview

  • The motorhome has been in Police Scotland custody for more than two years after seizure from Peter Murrell’s mother’s driveway in Dunfermline, with the SNP saying it retains ownership, lacks current condition information, and values it at £41,284.
  • The SNP reported a £455,254 deficit for 2024, compared with a £661,568 surplus in 2023.
  • Party membership stood at 56,011 on June 1, 2025, down from 64,525 a year earlier and well below the roughly 125,000 reported in 2019.
  • The SNP Westminster group’s separate accounts show a £155,803 deficit.
  • The party still owes £60,000 to former chief executive Peter Murrell from a 2021 loan with no formal agreement, and he remains charged with embezzlement with a further court date to be set.
