Nicola Sturgeon spent nearly £150,000 of taxpayers' cash on Cop-27 Nicola Sturgeon spent nearly £150,000 of taxpayers' cash on Cop-27 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12270263/Nicola-Sturgeon-spent-nearly-150-000-taxpayers-cash-attending-Cop-27-climate-summit-Egypt.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton
I wonder exactly how much tax payer money the SNP has wasted in total over the past 16 years

Ooh! I can access Twatter again!
How? I'm still locked out, and don't want to get an account.

Me too. It's so frustrating!
It just shows how much of this war is fought there. I do wonder if the algorithms hadn't been so squewed against women, being set up by men, all this wouldn't have happened.

Has this article been rewritten since you posted?

"The advocate-general for Scotland is not investigating the Scottish government’s spending on independence, The Times understands.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock, a Scottish Labour peer, claimed in the House of Lords that Lord Stewart, the UK government adviser on Scottish law, was looking into aspects of the Scottish government’s spending. However, it is understood this is not the case."

Lord Foulkes, incidentally, claimed Scottish independence would lead to alien invasion. He's, um, an interesting character.

It's been updated https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/30ce12c2-1c02-11ee-8434-240b5ab9f9b1?shareToken=9fdf3fc8dde3c4b44493188f9af21b73

'From Team Nicola to Team Humza: the SNP Leadership Contest 2023 in Perspective'

some of my Sturgeon loving, hard left extreme TRA "friends" are surprisingly quiet about this.....

Well, we've had a few years to go through surprise, disillusionment, horror and rage.

If you were still fond of the idea of the 'progressive and benevolent leader' Sturgeon, to find out all the grubby secrets all at once must be quite a shock.

We did have 'disbelief' for a while, are people still claiming it's all made up to discredit her?

For your reading pleasure:
"the crime of secretly taking money that is in your care or that belongs to an organization or business you work for"

Cripes, that Record article is almost unreadable. So many pop ups and adverts. It seems to be designed for people with an attention span of five seconds!

Just 'resting' on your driveway in your account

We did have 'disbelief' for a while, are people still claiming it's all made up to discredit her?

Some of the die-hard Nicola worshippers, the ones who post adoring icons of her on Facebook with sentimental poetry underneath, definitely will claim exactly that.

Not sure if it adds anything new to the story but can't see it posted above.

Sturgeon and her husband are 'likely' to be charged https://mol.im/a/12328857

Oh dear; what a pity; never mind. (In a Welsh accent)

well that's the Mail so may not be accurate but if so I'm sure they'll be delighted to have an opportunity to clear their names.

I'm not up on Scottish law -anyone know if there's a "not proven" option?
