If correct then online voting forms have been sent out to people who are no longer SNP members.
The voting in this election for a new leader of the SNP would not look out of place in a banana republic.
'It is reported in yesterday's Sunday Times' i.e. 'it is rumoured by.....' or 'it is made up by......'

I suppose if it's in a Tory rag it has to be true. I mean it's not like any opposition aligned paper would deliberately print an unsubstantiated rumour just to try to derail the process is it?

Kind of akin to rumours of Rangers about to make a bid for three players from the next team they play in the Scottish Cup don't you think?

'if correct' even though you know it isn't.
