The former First Minister Alex Salmond has been giving bombshell evidence to a Holyrood inquiry today
Mr Salmond alleges he was victim of a conspiracy by senior SNP figures to force him out of public life
He lashed out at Nicola Sturgeon for casting doubt on the court verdict that he was innocent of allegations
Mr Salmond insisted his evidence to the committee would not have been censored by the House of Commons
He warned 'leadership failures' raised questions about whether Scottish government fit for independence
Allies of Mr Salmond insist Nicola Sturgeon could be forced to quit over claims she misled Parliament
