Nicola Sturgeons husband pleads guilty.

It won't be worth half as much as they paid for it, it's been sitting in a police pound since his arrest, and will likely sit there a bit longer until he's sentenced etc.
Of course the party didn't use it, they hired a vehicle from a commercial outlet for the campaign. Beggars belief nobody, including Nicola, asked why not use the campervan the party had purchased supposedly for that very purpose.
Looks as if there were too many incompetents who didn't do their jobs.

Your last sentence sums up the SNP in one line and the welfare cost proves it. I can't find the other post that came out during the election but, apparently, Scotland spends more on benefits that we claw in on taxes. A recipe for disaster for independence. However see below for comments from Jenny Gilruth.

How could the SNP have used the motorhome as a campaign bus when they claimed they didn't know it existed until the newspapers reported the police had impounded it. (Beattie changed his story but his admission is vague at best.)

Ex-SNP treasurer says he was aware of motorhome - BBC News share.google/LUIxUZwf2YQxLBjuF

The SNP thrives because of it's secrecy and zero accountability, they are mastered deception and deflection en masse. Incompetence is the very least of it.

Paddyanne, Cannot believe anyone could even consider living as you do if they had a mind of their own and free will.
Unbelievable. .
Murrel should pay all court costs back plus the 400k born by the couple.

Looks as if SNP voters are well over it now.
The Party took a bashing at the GE, but appear to have bounced back.
There's just no telling, is there.

It's not just SNP money he took. Among the £400,000+ that he took was money from UK government ie taxpayer's money.

Power corrupts and absolute corrupts absolutely was said by Disraeli, I think although I could be wrong.
Nicola Sturgeon led Scotland effectively through the pandemic and I am grateful for her leadership at that point when Boris Johnson was faffing about. However, no-one is above the law. I think she was distancing herself from this situation when she divorced him. I have heard that this is not his first offence either. I am disappointed in them both. There are many loyal SNP activists who work very hard and honestly for what they believe, so I won't badmouth the entire organisation. However, SNP has to deal with this openly and change how funds are dealt with. It's not a good look.

Boris Johnson was not faffing about. He gave daily updates, took the advice of the scientists and made sure the UK had the vaccines as soon as possible. He tried to protect us all and nearly died himself. How did he faff about?

Johnson updates where broadcast in the evening. He gave out the advice from the Medical team who appear with him.
The Devolved Countries where given that info in the morning, from Westminster.
Sturgeon just issued that daily information, and broadcasted it before him, she didn't do anything special she just read it out, and gave it the SNP interpretion.

I'm married to a Scot and my in-laws where sick of her on the TV every lunchtime.

To be honest I think this whole 'oh she is the grown up in the room ' is partly why this was able to go on for so long. She wasn't, it was an act.

Nicola uses the expensive pen he bought. she has been photographed with it. Mont Blanc cost ar £4,000. might be a bit out with the cost, but damned expensive pens

I have no admiration whatever for Boris Johnson re the Covid broadcasts but I have even less for Nicola Sturgeon. She can always talk the talk, walking the walk is a different thing. Though she did walk the walk away from Murrell when the going got tough. As Joanna Cherry said, she showed “a remarkable lack of curiosity”. At best …

The pen isn't a big deal as a gift, I reckon.
.
Easy to acccept that in all good faith.

I'm convinced she knew and helped him spend it. She's just made sure he made all the purchases in his name.
If she genuinely didn't know she must be lacking in intelligence and thinking he was a lot richer than he was. She must have noticed the funds disappearing. He's the fall guy imo.

I remember when Tracey Ullman, on the BBC, used to do little impressions of Nicola, power suits and all. It was so funny but so like her. Did anyone else watch it?

It was excellent Silvershadow. I liked the one when she was drunk dialling Angela Merkel

Silvershadow

He might have worn a wig?

He might have worn hers in the privacy of his own home 😂

He might have worn all sorts of things I think…..🤔

Thing like onesies?

Yes, things like that 😂😂

And Estee Lauder.....?
Just off the top of my head, you understand?

That poor man. Somehow, I reckon in the past he'd have found a revolver would have been placed on his desk...

So let me get this straight: a £100k+ motor home and 2 expensive cars suddenly appears on the drive, the house is slowly filled with umpteen very expensive coffee machines, and your beloved is suddenly dressing like a dandy, after years of dressing like the Pilsbury dough man. And oor wee Nicky never noticed a thing. Not even all the shavings from all the pencils he's been sharpening. Hmmmm.... something 🐟🎣🦈 here me thinks.

😂😂😂😂
