But the internet provider won’t just give you that info, and that’s assuming the kids weren’t using a vpn to pretend they were in the uk to access sports channels - if they were using a vpn then my understanding is the internet provider will only see that connection registered and won’t know what websites they visited through the vpn

Edited to say that I’m pretty sure I didn’t put a password in fire my wife’s iPhone internet - I’m sure Apple has ‘linked us’ as a family in some way, the hotspot was offered to my phone (wife didn’t do anything on her phone) and I connected - when I did connect a little icon went green on her phone on the status bar but that was it

I`m sure that`s the case but your wife could have put a password on her device to prevent access. Surely with a device that is used for government business it should always be password protected.

If they were in Morocco then i`m assuming the only `legit` access they`d have to OF games is SKY which in turn would be blocked abroad (SKY Go).

Whilst it`s not as tricky to get around as BBCiPlayer is in terms of footering about with a VPN it`s not that straight forward, albeit I may be doing his son(s) a diservice to their IT knowledge.

Which makes me think they`ve maybe accessed it via IPTV or another 3rd party and the subsequent enquiry has laid this bare and he`s been advised as such before it`s made public, hence resigning.

You know the tabloid in the Sun & Record and even more so opposition MP`s would gave a field day with the headlines about a government device being used to facilitate illegal / pirated material even if it was 2nd or 3rd hand via a hotspot.

Just a theory of course, maybe reading too much into into it.

After sitting tight for 3 months why the dash to the exit door ?

The parameters inquiry he asked for into the issue is due to report their findings imminently .

I wonder why he decided to quit on a Thursday just after 11am, an hour before First Ministers questions. He could have quit at any time over the months since the scandal was raised. Labour would have been in for a kicking at that Parliamentary session over their recent change of heart over their funding pledges for green issues, but instead he quit just before leaving the First Minister to take a kicking. He must have known what he was doing by picking that moment to resign?

Today is the deadline for Matheson to respond to the Parliamentary report on his attempted expenses fiddle. Rumour is that is even more damning than what is already known.
He’s had it two weeks, still stalling.

And he`s getting a £12,000 payment from us as a sweetener for dropping down to a mere MSP.

Wonder why he`s asked for an extension ?

So the Secretary of State for Science has been sued for slander, and has had to pay £15K in damages.

She has made the taxpayer pay the penalty, in a day dominated by the budget, she thinks she`s getting away with it!

So Matheson was granted a 10 day extension to respond to the parliament authority’s report into his expense claims. That was 15 days ago..

Michelle Donelan`s false accusation that a Heriot-Watt professor was a supporter of Hamas was actually made in a letter so it was libel rather than slander. In mitigation for her damages being paid by the taxpayer Penny Mordaunt, the Leader of the House of Commons, has pointed out that Donelan did not take £16,000 of severance pay she was entitled to when she resigned as Education Secretary in Boris Johnson`s government. What she did not point out was that she only served for about 36 hours after changing her mind about serving under Johnson!

Anyway, shouldn`t she have resigned after libelling someone whilst a Government minister?

She should have resigned, and if not, she should have been relieved of her duties. She should also have paid this out of her own pocket. Politicians of all sides need to start raising their game

Further justification that the taxpayer should foot the bill :-

The government has said that Michelle Donelan, the science secretary, received official legal advice about the message she posted on X that led to her department paying damages to an academic. This point has been made to explain why it has been decided she should not have to personally pay the £15,000 being paid out in damages.

If so, the advice was clearly flawed, because Donelan has now retracted what she said.
