John Swinney in 2001 on Henry McLeish £9,000 expenses scandal:
"You have got to be able to trust the First Minister."
Once it escalated to £36k+ Swinney said:
"People around Scotland will be staggered by the amount of money that is involved.
For the good of the Scottish parliament as a whole and the office of first minister, Mr McLeish should now resign his position."
John Swinney in 2026 on the SNP's £660,000 fundraising scandal:
"Nothing to see here, folks."
@WingsScotland@markthehibby Oooft!! What a disgrace/disaster for these fuckwits. They’ll come up with some excuse that the average village idiot will believe
Can someone please just ask John Swinney this?
“If this is all in the past now and there are no more questions to answer, where’s the £600,000 indyref fund? You’ve got less than £50K in the bank.”
Nicola Sturgeon faced heavy scrutiny over the weekend over her apparent blindness to that motorhome. Matters worsened when she and her husband somehow ended up trapped in Gordon Brown’s cave of eternal despair.
Spare a thought for the Scots. It can’t be easy.
{satire}
After decades trying to break up Britain, and as her husband admits embezzling £400k, Nicola Sturgeon quits Scotland...to live in England

@piersmorgan Pish. Madueke had his arm wrapped round the boy also. Defo wasn’t a blatant pen.
Talking about pens though, the reason uz lost was because of those stupid run ups! Eze run up is a disgrace and he should shoulder the blame
The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.
It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.
The British justice system is BROKEN.
Time for changes.
