Nicola Sturgeon didn't know her husband stole £400,000

[Imdunfer]

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

I'm sure she had no idea as he doubtless had a secret shed where he kept all his luxury umbrellas and car parts and fountain pens and lawn mowers and..Estée Lauder products...Jo Malone... um, Molton Brown...

I don’t see how anyone could possibly believe it 🤷‍♀️

Isn’t it the same everywhere?!

I think £400,000 from thousands of individual donors who believed they were financing a fight for independence takes the biscuit for its level of shitting on your voters.

Didn’t she also sign off on the accounts?

A woke, self righteous leftie taking the piss. What’s new?

The further to the left a politician is, the deeper they have their nose in the trough.

Len McClusky, Unite union boss and a comrade to the working classes, who spent over £100m on a hotel project, with the union layer wiping £66m from its accounts. Workers’ subs spent well, then. Serious fraud office is investigating.

Labour first minister of Wales resigning over donations.

Starmers’s minister of anti corruption no less, done for corruption in Bangladesh. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Another Scottish one. Swinney is currently cheerleading for lord advocate who is defending claims of being a wrong ‘un.

Then there’s the blatant stealing and tax fraud by the likes of Angela Rayner. That would be big Ange who dodged stamp duty, while serving as a….wait for it….housing minister. Again, you couldn’t make this shit up.

Walter Titty was recently found to have fished council tax on his house boat also. Clearly, lying and claiming to be a boob hypnotist or that he worked for ministry of justice wasn’t exciting enough.

The further to the left these jokers are, and the more ‘progressive’ they are, the more likely the are to be corrupt.

I think she might not have “known” for sure but she chose not to ask and turned a blind eye. Which amounts to the same thing but she will have convinced herself she didn’t “know”

400k is far too much to hide from a partner

If my husband came home with a new car, or a fountain pen for 4K Id be where the fuck did you get the money for that ??

I dont need to know to the penny how much my DH has, I do know what our level of income is and a new car is a joint purchase after doing the sums together

She's lying

A blind man can see that

Apparently.

Ah, there’s a surprise. Now that she’s destroyed Scotland’s economy and public services, as well as whatever else was going on based on these latest reports, she’s toddled off down to London to live the high life, no doubt, among the Westminster elite.

And there was us thinking she hated the Westminster crowd, was all for Scottish independence and wanted nothing to do with westminster establishment. Then again, Scotland keeps voting for these clowns. So they get the politics they deserve.

She doesn’t look like a glaikit.

Isn’t she pretty much undone already?

Yeah, Isla Bryson or whatever his real name is, brought her down. Oh, well.

Paging @RealFeminist for her insight....

She was investigated, as part of the 5 year long Operation Branchform.

Investigated, Arrested, questioned at length, released without charge, informed in March 2025 she was no longer considered to be of any relevance to the investigation.

But naw, some random mumsnetters know better than Police Scotland who spent 5 years, millions of pounds, thousands of man hours, and turned the family home and SNP HQ upside down looking for evidence.

It would be amusing if it wasn't just prototypical mumsnet and entirely predictable.

Right, now do the hundreds of millions stolen by Tories and their cronies during the pandemic.

It’s just a fact of life. Politicians are given license to be corrupt from day one. She is as guilty as sin, and he is taking the fall for the whole thing, lock stock and the rest.
It’s already been mentioned that she has in some respects been tarnished by this , but to me that will never be enough. She belongs behind bars.

If she really didn't then the SNP must be glad to be rid of such a dim person as their leader.

Do it yourself.

Perhaps he told her the £400,000 was resting in their account.

I was listening to this on the radio with DH and I said "if you'd spent four grand on a bloody pen, I'd want to know where you getting the bloody money from!"

No way was Jimmy Krankie that oblivious.

Just for the record, the camper van was never on her drive. It was parked on her MIL's drive, which if I recall correctly, was a hour's drive away. Telling that she knew nothing about it (apparently) until the polis starting asking questions 2 years later. Hmm. Never visited her MIL in 2 years, eh?
Sad, in one way, to think he spent all that money on a luxury moho and never used it! It's been rotting away in a police compound for 3 years.

I can believe it. 10-12 year period. Much of the spending daft things, washing up bowls, neutragena hand cream £2.49… cruet set near £3k. The camper van Nicola says she wasn’t aware of and both high earners so why wouldn’t she assume what he spent was from his £s? If she knew, police would’ve charged her too.

It was just resting on the drive me lord
