Does anyone believe Nicola Sturgeon?

As per title, does anyone actually believe NS with her claims she had no idea her husband stole £400k, didn't notice the MANY luxury items just appearing around her home, and is a victim in his deceit?

The motor home situation is most bizarre, if it wasn’t used for travelling I’m wondering if he used it as a separate home. Or did it literally just sit in the drive?!

It had only done 4 miles so it literally did just sit on the driveway. My theory is that he used it for a cross dressing habit. I’d love to know what size the underwear and shoes etc that he bought was.

Look what some people fail to realise is that you don’t actually get paid that much to be a politician. My DH and I probably earn similar if not more and there’s not a cats chance in hell I wouldn’t question how he was funding a new jag or more importantly a big fuck off motorhome!

I never liked Nicola but I used to admire what she’d achieved and heard that she was meant to be a good person. I think the whole situation is a total disgrace.

And yet, bizarrely, donations to the SNP have "soared" since the scandal. Presumably their supporters are desperate to replace the lost money - rather than what, get Murrell to pay it back? Ditch their support for the SNP?

Sorry, paywall, but you get the gist.

Depreciating.

This is where the idea has come from that the marital home may have to be sold to pay off his thefts. Because the £125k motorhome is now worth about £45k at best and where is the other £80k coming from.

Apparently, she has updated her pronouns to "Him / Not Me"

apparently yes it just sat there unused.

I just caught up with HIGNFY. Brilliant. She's a laughing stock.

SNP seem set to lose by-election in Aberdeen South from seat vacated by Stephen Flynn. They still seem ok in the other seat in Arbroath

SirChenjins · 19/06/2026 02:11

Big win for the Tories - Aberdeen South obviously happy to see the back of Flynn.

Good, well done Aberdeen South. I'm sure it was a safe Labour seat when I lived there in the last century.

Considering she ruled the SNP and Scotland with an iron fist IE her Wye or nae Wye ..I don't believe anything got past her

100% control freak

Absolutely. She actually told people not to raise questions about finances. £3k plus on a silver coaster. Ffs. She's got friends in high places obviously. And it's not heaven.

LaliqueSaltGrinder · 23/06/2026 22:30

This is the whole way the SNP operate. If you are a SNP MP or MSP you have to follow the party line or they chuck you out. No discussion. It's a really unhealthy way to run a party, with no discussion and no debate among members.

The video of her telling members of her executive team to be "very careful" about asking too many questions about the accounts is damning. Maybe she didn't know he was on the fiddle, but she absolutely would not tolerate any questions about it.

If they were a proper married couple as opposed to a sham marriage to cover up rumoured/alleged same sex relationships, then I cannot fathom how she didn't know.

Did she never visit her MIL and see the Motorhome, wonder where the ridiculously priced household goods came from? She came from very humble beginnings so surely would be horrified at the blatant waste of money some of those ridiculous items cost.

It makes me wonder if they were really living completely separate lives. As in NS did not visit her mother in law. Did not use her kitchen because she didn't really live there, or was hardly there at all. Just didn't spend any time together really. It's either that or she is lying.

No, she
was
seen going to mil’s

And indeed accepted she’d been there but with “no conscious recollection of seeing the campervan”
