I was aware of it, and I have no reason to believe it was "made up". It would've been in their interests, if they wanted him out then, to not try to intervene and ween him off. I don't want to speak too much about it as I don't like that it's been publicised. I believe anyone can have a lapse of judgement or a few weeks of destructive behaviour and it's their own business, But if you're leader of a political party you need to be at the top of your game - if you have a drink problem, then you're not going to be at the top of your game. But it was a crunch factor in breaking trust, and then subsequent events really shattered trust.The decision was published in Iris Oifiguil in February 2025. The NP had an AGM in October 2024, and that was the basis for the decision.</blockquote>
