The Herald has today:

John Swinney is facing mounting pressure over his leadership, to compensate SNP supporters and to answer “difficult questions” after Peter Murrell admitted embezzling more than £400,000 from the party over a 12-year period.

Opposition politicians, former SNP figures and campaigners said the guilty plea had raised fresh questions for the First Minister and renewed calls for donors whose money was misused to be refunded.

Grok – ‘Has any current member of the SNP been reported calling for John Swinney to resign or for the money referred to in the Murrell case to be refunded?‘

Easy, John, I only thought for 5 seconds:

No, there are no reports of any current SNP MSP, MP, or active party officeholder publicly calling for John Swinney to resign or for the SNP to refund the money embezzled by Peter Murrell.

Key details from today’s events (May 25, 2026):

• Peter Murrell (former SNP CEO and Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband) pleaded guilty to embezzling over £400,000 from the SNP. He used the funds for personal items like a motorhome, cars, and jewelry.
• John Swinney held a press conference, expressed being “horrified,” “gutted,” and “betrayed,” and apologised to SNP members whose donations were affected. The SNP positions itself as a victim of the crime.

On resignation calls:

• Joanna Cherry (former SNP MP) has publicly called for Swinney to resign and be replaced (e.g., by Stephen Flynn), saying the party needs to “break with the past.” However, she left the SNP in late 2025 and is no longer a member or elected representative.
• Other past figures (e.g., Jim Sillars) have made similar calls in the past or now, but these are not current members.
• No current SNP MPs, MSPs, or senior officeholders have been reported making such calls in the coverage. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cddp5gm0155t

On refunds:

• Swinney and the SNP have stated they will not be offering refunds. The money is considered stolen from the party, and they say current donations will support party aims. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk
• Calls for refunds or compensation have come from opposition politicians, campaigners (e.g., Sean Clerkin, whose complaint helped trigger the investigation), and some former SNP figures — but not from serving SNP elected members. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/may/25/peter-murrell-pleads-guilty-embezzlement-snp-scottish-national-party

This story is breaking today, so more internal reactions could emerge, but based on current reporting, no serving SNP figures have gone public with demands for Swinney’s resignation or refunds. The party leadership is emphasising unity and portraying the SNP as the victim while focusing on moving forward.
