If you’ve got evidence of any wrongdoing, you should inform the police. It looks like they could use a hand.

Or they could ask Liz Truss.
With her financial nous she could go far in some party.

I really have littke skin in the game.
Yes, I vote SNP(now) but that's driven by a desire to get Scotland out from under Westminster.
Why I hear you shout?
Well, I see Westminster, no matter where I put my cross, no matter what my constituency does, no matter what my country does, for the rest of my days on this earth electing populist, reactionary, ideology free (beyond a basic "free market good, state bad" ladybird for right wingers ethos) shysters.

How has the SNP performed in government?

Curates egg for me, by necessity in terms of a theoretically ethical interventionist party chasing their original single objective.

I cling to a hope that an independent nation of five million could evolve into a grown up, compassionate democracy.
With grown up compassionate politicians.

A pipe dream?
Maybe.
But it beats seven shades of sh1t out of the alternative/status quo.

She’d be able to do their books given that prior to getting into politics she was a chartered accountant.

Yes. She'd be a dab hand.
I don't think she can even count the number of fingers on her hands.

She was also a Lib Dem before a Tory as well. Does that help her?

Some conversion that.

It's like Jar Jar Binks telling you, "Yousa don't know the power of the Dark Side!

A path well travelled that one


‘Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others’

If media reports are true, fair play to the FM for making what looks like an honest re-appraisal of policy and making more appealing noises about personal tax, and the fundamentally-flawed National Care Service (who the fûck would have put a mouth-breather like Kevin Stewart in charge of that?????), among other schemes he’s inherited. Words, though. Let’s see the beef/tofu.
