Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell accused of embezzling ยฃ459,000 over 12-year period The former SNP chief executive is accused of illicitly purchasing items including luxury goods, jewellery, cosmetics, two cars and a motorhome.

I am cynical about the timing of these charges but the outcome won't influence my vote. Either way, I still want Scottish independence.

The difference between Westminster's Unionist parties and the SNP, is that the former only have a greed for money and personal power, while the SNP have only the well being of our nation and our people at heart!

Farage claims his failed-Tory recruitment drive is because he needs people with experience of govt.
What he really means is - experience of lying. Repeatedly and shamelessly.
He has a stellar line-up with Braverman, Zahawi and the v practised, โ€˜Honest Bobโ€™.
What a grim bunch of grubby little cheats.

Robert Jenrick is lying.

Reform UK have spent, to date, almost ยฃ1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions.

They are NOT a local Manchester printer.

They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

So the search of Mandelson's place is over. All very civilised.

Compare that to the treatment of Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister. ยฃ660K of SNP funding not accounted for. Big blue police tent. Looked like the search of Fred West's house. Endless investigation that dragged on over election periods.

Reform sending out illegal election material and Scot Labour sending out dodgy election material as well, none of these parties can be trusted.
Don't vote Labour
Don't vote Reform
Vote for a Scottish independence party to protect all the benefits we have under an indy govt.
