Episode Details

A Labour councillor, Fiona Higgins, sparked a major controversy after calling out a finance director for allegedly misleading the public — only to be slapped with a misconduct report. The case spiraled through ethics commissions, where 20 of her key defense documents were tossed out — until she took it to court. With backing from rock legend Paul McManus, Higgins fought back, and in a landmark ruling, Lord Sandison overturned the rejection of seven crucial documents, calling it a partial but significant victory. Higgins says justice is being served, and McManus celebrates the win as proof that accountability can’t be silenced. The case moves forward with the admitted evidence.
