Really? She lived with this guy and didn't know? She had a camper van parked on the drive and didn't know he stole the money to buy it?

I don't buy it.

AIBU

Oh, and she was leader of the party he stole it from while he was stealing it!

I said this to DH earlier. They were married. Where did she think the money was coming from?!!

Newnammmme · 25/05/2026 21:07

I wonder how the great big piles of money she had to climb over to get out of the house, or the fact his wallet was so full he couldn’t shove it in his back pocket didn’t give it away 🤣

cop on with yourself Nicola

I thought it was normal to not query a 100k camper van turning up in yous drive 🤥

Twiglets1 · 25/05/2026 21:08

I call bullshit.

ThePieceHall · 25/05/2026 21:09

Now, come on, the extremely large and extremely expensive motor home wasn’t parked on her drive; it was parked on Nana Murrell’s drive. How could she possibly be aware of it?

Scottish politics has always been corrupt but the SNP take the biscuit.

Error404FucksNotFound · 25/05/2026 21:10

What a load of bollocks.
Of course she knew.

HippoandtheScabbyBrats · 25/05/2026 21:11

Utterly ridiculous! Come on Nicola, own it FFS. 😡

Coffeeandbooks88 · 25/05/2026 21:11

Course she did. She needs investigating.

WinterBlues26 · 25/05/2026 21:12

Separate current accounts innit. Once the utilities are paid off each month he's allowed his fun money. Wives shouldn't question their husband's hobby spends.

XiCi · 25/05/2026 21:12

Absolute Zero chance that she didn't know and wasn't complicit

JustAnUdea · 25/05/2026 21:13

If it was gambling or cocaine or a mistress... yeah I can see how it could be hidden.

But not on cars, jewellery etc.

Humblepieman · 25/05/2026 21:13

Nicola not being able to see something as plain as the nose on her face…..never. I think this time Nicola’s willful blindness will be her full undoing.

PizzaPowder · 25/05/2026 21:15

Just another thing she won’t recall 🙄🙄

There is no way on gods earth she didn’t know.

ByGraptharsHammer · 25/05/2026 21:16

She is trying to have her nice little metropolitan life in London now she is finished in Scotland. I am not a Scottish Nationalist but they should be forced to take her back as a condition for any increase in the Barnett formula.

I find her statements intriguing because she could not have been more verbose as First Minister. Now she is very quiet

Boneheads vote them in, every time.

makeitorbakeit · 25/05/2026 21:17

Oh she absolutely knew! Yet again she worms her way out of a situation.
I await the day she gets her comeuppance,
hoping that’s sooner than later!

JaneFondue · 25/05/2026 21:17

The stuff he has bought is really odd.

Createausername1970 · 25/05/2026 21:17

DH and I were saying similar earlier this evening.

She must have known roughly how much he was earning so would have known roughly how much spare money he might have.

A £100K motorhome is not something you can be unaware of.

I thought was comic. A motorhome. The suburban mundanity of the corruption

SpottyAlpaca · 25/05/2026 21:17

Sturgeon is lying, and everyone knows she’s lying.

Nobody gets home one evening to find a huge £125k mobile home & an electric Jaguar SUV have appeared outside their house without querying it. The police either couldn’t find any hard evidence that she knew where the money came from (presumably because they destroyed the evidence) or her friends in government applied enough pressure on the police that they didn’t look too hard for the evidence.

TallSturdyGirl · 25/05/2026 21:19

She had no idea. It was a complete surprise. Boris Johnson also lost (made) lots through the PPE millions to his and Rishi's lovely friends, Raynes did a £40k tax dodge and Farage £5 Million bung. Obviously some are worse than others. But come on Sturgeon just fess up.
I know if DH spent £100 out of normal and visa versa.

You forgot the £5,800 on coffee machines!

Another one who really doesn’t buy it but I bet she gets away with it.
