Well that's embarrassing.

Not a great look headed into a GE.

Regardless of verdict the optics are terribly timed.

I think Nicola must have always known this was coming. That's why she resigned.

She might not have thought it would happen but she must have realised there was a risk of it becoming a legal problem. And that itself would be enough to resign.

Will Nicola be next? She certainly seemed to work hard to deflect questioning of the SNP finances.

And remember it was Murrell lack of transparency that led to their favoured candidate, Humza, becoming FM rather than Kate.

I think the credibility of the SNP is being undermined from so many angles now. Some of Humza’s recent comments on the Hate Crime bill, the reverse on PB and now this.

Yes, exactly.
