BBCCatrionaR 600,000 pound? Seriously? When will the home of Boris or any other Tory be surrounded like there is a body in the front garden?

BBCCatrionaR Alex Salmon = Scandal. Nicolas Sturgeon = Scandal. Scotland's on a hattrick.

BBCCatrionaR My question is Why today? Why not 2, 3 or 6 weeks ago? Why not on election day? Smacks of choreography by police.

BBCCatrionaR This is a very disappointing result, should be checked, I'm sure there must be a lot of such things

BBCCatrionaR Must be a kick up the kilt for all those SNP fanboys out there.

BBCCatrionaR Just shows you how corrupt the governments are….. they all going to fall like dominoes now

lewis_goodall BBCCatrionaR Why is there a tent up in the garden?

lewis_goodall BBCCatrionaR You gutted Lewis?

BBCCatrionaR

BBCCatrionaR 'clashed'

BBCCatrionaR That’s why Nicola jumped before she was pushed!!

BBCCatrionaR “Back room operator” you say ….

BBCCatrionaR So that’s why she resigned!

BBCCatrionaR 'Peter Murrell is very much a back room operator' - called it!'

BBCCatrionaR Ello ello ello.

BBCScotlandNews BBCCatrionaR Is there a murder in the house? Police Scotland have gone a bit over the top with a blue tent/tapes to cordon off the house!!! RIDICULOUS!!!

BBCCatrionaR But Sturgeon only resigned because she was tired! 🤣 CorruptSNP

BBCCatrionaR

BBCCatrionaR So jumped before she was pushed?

BBCCatrionaR Leftist corruption

lewis_goodall BBCCatrionaR Wonder if Donald Trump would like to make a comment about this.

lewis_goodall BBCCatrionaR It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that the timing of the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon might have had its origins in this story and anticipation of this news breaking.

BBCCatrionaR that explains alot, its over for the snp

BBCPolitics BBCCatrionaR You can’t even get it right! It was a loan, not a donation.

BBCCatrionaR Crankys husband has been arrested!!!

BBCCatrionaR Surely not! The BBC we're only a few weeks ago applauding the SNP, oh death me. The BBC do back the wrong uns, don't they!

Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell arrested amid SNP finance investigationThe former First Minister's 58-year-old husband is currently being questioned in connection with the probe into the funding and finances of the party and various addresses are being searched. It's almost as if the coppers have waited until Sturgeon was replaced before nicking him. Imagine she hadn't resigned? Would the leader of Scotland's husband still be in handcuffs today? Incredibly sad news. SNP are by no means perfect but I genuinely view them as the party that takes the worst of the sting out of UK Gov austerity policy. Deeply disappointed and worried for the future of Scotland.
