| 22. Author: Parboiled Date: Mon 24th Jun 2024. 16:25 Pretty paltry compared to the embezzlement of the £600,000 Indy fund and £11000 attempted IPad swindle. Still, theft is theft …C’mon Polis Alba , pull yer truncheons oot! Reply |
| 23. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 24th Jun 2024. 16:30 It`s Holyrood that`s investigating it, not the polis. The maximum allowance for a year is £5k isn`t it? If there has been misuse it`s unlikely to be for the full amount. Let`s hope the polis don`t get involved. It could take up to three years to complete their investigations. Reply |

| 27. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 25th Jun 2024. 18:13 Now Labour have suspended a candidate who bet AGAINST himself winning the seat for which he is standing! What`s more they are returning a donation of £100k he made to the Labour Party. Is that the price for being nominated as a Parliamentary candidate? It just gets sleazier and sleazier! Reply |
| 28. Author: red-star-par Date: Tue 25th Jun 2024. 20:24 wee eck, Tue 25 Jun 18:13 That`s outrageous. I assume he wasn`t intending to put much effort into his campaign! Looks like he has won his bet though. Donations to politicians needs to be stamped out. They should be making decisions based on what is right for their constituents, the nation, first and foremost. They shouldn`t be there to represent those who give large donations. The amount of Tory and Labour candidates who have accepted Israeli money means that they effectively control UK foreign policy, that can`t be the correct way to run a government Reply |
| 29. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 25th Jun 2024. 20:38 Alister Jack is now saying he won over £2,000 betting on the date of the election but he didn`t place the bets in May when Sunak announced the date. Reply |

| 31. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 25th Jun 2024. 21:55 Even if he`s done nothing illegal you would have thought a Cabinet Minister might take the view that it would be best not betting on anything political where it might be construed you had inside information. Reply |
| 32. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 26th Jun 2024. 06:55 Jack`s now saying he only won £100. He was joking about having won £2,000. It`s obviously just a bit of a laugh to him. Reply |

| 34. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 26th Jun 2024. 13:27 Alex Cole-Hamilton now revealing he put in bets too. I honestly despair at how poor our politicians are but not exactly unexpected with AC-H as he`s got some track record. Reply |
| 35. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 29th Jul 2024. 11:51 Did the Scottish Parliament ever conclude their enquiry into the alleged misuse of stamps by the SNP? It`s over a month since this was announced. Do the admin staff get the same holidays as the MSPs? Reply |
| 36. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 29th Jul 2024. 12:33 Old news. The election has passed now. Reply |
| 37. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 29th Jul 2024. 12:46 I doubt if that stopped the inquiry. Reply |
| 38. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 29th Jul 2024. 15:08 Just like the investigation into Sturgeon/Murrell has gone very quiet now…….no doubt case will be dropped in the next 6 months….. Reply |
| 39. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 29th Jul 2024. 15:27 The rumours were the case had already been dropped...unless they want to drag it out until 2026 because it`s becoming evident Labour will have a tough time if recent events are anything to go by. Reply |
| 40. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 29th Jul 2024. 15:37 Which case? The stamp inquiry is an internal parliamentary matter and the investigation into SNP finances is in the hands of the Procurator Fiscal`s Office now. I don`t see how either could be dropped without public accountability. Reply |
