Sturgeon is struggling to get her story straight and it looks increasingly clear, as Scots have long suspected, that she resigned as FM because of the Murrell scandal. We have to see Sturgeon under oath and interrogated properly by someone on top of their brief.
Swinney is trying to get close to Irish Nats with historical family links to the IRA that have murdered Scottish soldiers. He is merely a vehicle to push their agenda and he is opening up a pandoras box in Scotland, where sectarianism is alive and well. He is not fit for purpose.
Swinney has shown appalling lack of judgment and a lack of knowledge on the limits of his powers and responsibilities. He is not the leader of Scotland, nor is he the leader of a country; he is the leader of a cause which is not the overwhelming view of the people of Scotland.
I am advised that media outlets blur images to comply with UK legal reporting guidelines during active court cases.
Reform UK plans to put on public display all the items embezzled by Murrell, including the motorhome and a £500 Montblanc pen that Sturgeon used to sign her resignation letter to the King. It is important that this vital part of Scotland’s history is not lost and is on display.
Homeless people in Edinburgh who have effectively had their asylum claim approved have been moved to the top of the waiting list for social housing. Nicola Sturgeon changed housing rules in 2022 to scrap the need for a ‘local connection’ to receive a council home.
The downfall of Sturgeon and Murrell, is to be retold in a C5 drama next year. An extraordinary tale of power, envy, deception and greed that has dominated headlines and gossip columns. Sturgeon is understood to be aware of the programme but is not thought to have contributed.
The SNP’s economic record is increasingly alarming: higher taxes, falling wages and now a £720M budget black hole they cannot even borrow their way out of.
If you increase taxes by too much the total tax take falls. A schoolboy error by the SNP that we will all end up paying for.
The SNP’s flagship investment bank has racked up a £138M loss after a string of failures. Staff at the Scottish National Investment Bank took home an average pay of £96K. These eye-watering losses raise serious questions about how the SNP’s flagship Investment Bank is operating.
Swinney could not wait to get as far away from Scotland and the Murrell scandal as possible. He is more interested in enjoying himself than being FM and working hard for the people of Scotland. There is a cost of living issue and there are better ways of spending taxpayers money.
Taxpayers will be stunned that they are picking up the tab for Swinney and Todd to have enjoyed themselves at the World Cup. Taxpayers were left with a £62K bill for flights, £17K in hotel bills and £15K for car hire. In typical SNP fashion costs were never kept under control.
Sturgeon has attacked Swinney in a way she must have known would cause problems for him. She has now gone out of her way to praise the Scottish Greens and may be positioning herself to resign from the SNP before she’s pushed, because she’s becoming an embarrassment to the party.

Salmond, her "husband" and now the funereal @johnSwinney all traduced by @nicolasturgeon - Scotland's very own Jason Arday.
SNP ministers agreed to pay a Turkish shipyard £23M for three unfinished ferries despite not having seen any documents saying that the use of public funds was justified. This is what happens when you vote for people that are completely ignorant about economics.
Sturgeon uses the standard SNP defense line against JK Rowling - she is obsessed with me. Nobody is remotely obsessed with Sturgeon. Sturgeon is a laughing stock. Why doesn’t she just sit down and shut up. She has done enough harm for one lifetime.
A Scottish Government funded LGBT charity received £230,000 of taxpayers’ money to operate what may be ‘Scotland’s most expensive helpline’ — only to answer four calls in three months.
SNP membership fell by another 10 per cent last year after thousands more supporters abandoned the party under Swinney’s leadership. If even SNP supporters are losing faith, then it is time for Swinney to ditch his independence obsession and focus on what really matters to Scots.
The SNP higher tax rates have cost Scotland £15M to £30M in lost revenue because the SNP has fallen over the Laffer Curve. Progressive SNP tax rates are reducing tax revenues and helping to starve public services. If you want to soak the rich, you first need rich people to soak.
SNP Ministers are turning on Sturgeon for her criticism of Swinney's election campaign. Sturgeon's comments have been described by the SNP as 'nonsense' and they have also sought to belittle her time in power by describing Swinney as the best FM ever.
