The SNP needs to show all accounts funding since the party was formed. The police needs to check all MP's bank accounts of said party to see if any monies were syphoned off for private use.
Well given that the SNP was formed way back in 1934, and the first SNP MP was elected in 1967, that's a lot of checking the Police will have to do. Better get the pie suppers and fresh rowies in!

She was apparently one of the ones who kept trying to change design parameters on the ferries Thunder.She denied it and Derek Mackay had to fall on his sword over it.Sadly for her he went to the press and dropped the party in it.If you had seen him during the count at the general election it was a true SNP performance.When anyone put forward anything decrying the SNP he leapt about in his chair banging the armrest shouting not true repeatedly.Just like a toddler having a tantrum.

leaders of the country?

Where did you get that information? The Press would have been all over any meddling in the ferries' design, but I've never seen a word about it. As for Mackay 'falling on his sword' over the matter, that's completely untrue: he resigned as Finance Secretary in early 2021 when The Sun got hold of phone-messages he sent to a 16-year-old boy; nothing to do with the ferries fiasco.

'Headboy Humza' has said today that Murrell will not be suspended from the SNP, that he is 'innocent until proven guilty' but that the SNP will not cover his legal fees. That's no surprise given the SNP's claim to have just £97,000 in the kitty!

Don’t know about Nic meddling in the design of the Ferries, but she was certainly very active during the contracts stage.

Ferguson Marine’s Resume to win the contract

1/ Never built a vessel of that size before, yet alone two.
2/ Was the most expensive tender,£37m dearer than the cheapest( based on the original £97m price tag).
3/ Didn’t have the skill set to build said Ferries
4/ Couldn’t provide financial guarantees
5/ Was weeks if not days away from going Insolvent(eventually did, wiping out £80m of Scottish taxpayers money)

On top of that
6/ Contract was seemingly issued as a fixed contract, but magically changed to a variable one when things started to go wrong
7/ The final design of the ferries was anything but, when contract was awarded and the costs started to escalate very quickly when designs were altered from the outset.

A total and utter disgrace

But who cares, we get free prescriptions and under 22yo get free bud travel🤬🤬

Well said mate, though I can’t help noticing that you have a small yellow patch on the side of you face (egg maybe?) :unsure:

Seriously though you have been let down by your politicians in the same way as the rest of the UK. My wife said the other day, there aren’t any grownups in politics anymore.

Good luck

Atech,
Why egg on the face? Getting to a time in my life where I can't remember everything.

Was never Queen Nics biggest fan though.

I thought she was alright - I admire that she believed in something. Unfortunately I appear to have totally misjudged her which I am sad about.

Oh dear!

If Yousaf is the 'continuity ' candidate then perhaps that is not a good thing?

I liked what the snp were doing and so apparently did the Scottish electorate as they kept a lot of Scottish labour MPs out of Westminster which is my only interest to be honest although if I were Scottish I would want to be independent.

Why would you like to lose your links to the United Kingdom if you were Scottish, what a strange thing to say!!! I am a proud Fifer and class myself as a proud British citizen. Us Scots are fed up to the back teeth of these imposters telling us that "we voted to stay in Europe and we want independence" 38 and 55 % of "us" certainly did not and are treated like a pile of dirt on your shoes. Thank the Lord that her and her cronies were found out before they had the chance to shaft our hard earned pensions.

Interesting that today, in Humza Yousaf's 16-page 3,700-word speech to the Scottish Parliament outlining his priorities for the next three years, two words were conspicuous by their absence: 'independence' and 'referendum'. Wee Mammy was nowhere to be seen, having decided not to attend for fear that her presence would be a 'distraction'. The times they are a'changing...

Beattie has now resigned as SNP treasurer (and is rumoured to be seeking political asylum south of Hadrian’s Wall 🤫)

I am a supporter of an independent Scotland, but I most certainly do not treat any Union supporter like dirt on my shoes. I actually don't see that kind of thing anywhere but from a tiny minority who are mair tae be pitied than laughed at.
As for fear of loosing links, I hope that if independence does come that the lessons from Brexit are heeded.
Don't understand why you are feart for your pensions as that great Fifer Gordon Brown already damaged that!
