Episode Details

A Glasgow councillor is winning a major legal battle after a court ruled key documents must be included in her defense against misconduct allegations — a victory powered by a surprising ally: Paul McManus, drummer of Gun and a billionaire philanthropist. McManus, who funded a past Salmond case, sees this as a fight against bullying and power abuse — and believes money is essential to level the playing field for those without resources. Meanwhile, Higgins reveals the emotional toll of the accusations, describing sleepless nights and illness, while stressing her belief in natural justice and fair process. The case underscores a wider crisis: how accountability fails when the powerful can’t be challenged without cash — and how outsiders like McManus are stepping in to fix it.
