@WingsScotland Yep Corstorphine Old Parish and Swinney plus his mates. A hotbed of Scottish nationalist and Celtic fans. Invite to join rapidly filed in bin.
@JacobAD82@joannaccherry Or we could all email Sir Lindsay directly? There is a very useful contact form online. Obviously any taxpayer money stolen by Murrell should be repaid by the SNP.
@JacobAD82@joannaccherry The Clerk of the HoC is responsible for partys short money allocation and reports to the Hoc Commission which is chaired by the Speaker. Perhaps one of your Westminster colleagues could ask Sir Lindsay what steps he has taken to ensure short money wasn't stolen by Peter Murrell?
@WingsEcosse@staylorish If you read Samβs post yesterday the SNP apparently spent 480k of it in the 2017 GE, there was no ring fencing. Murrell stole 400k most of it came from outside the fundraiser. The interesting thing will be if WM βshortβmoney is mixed up in thisβ¦
@staylorish If the crowd funding money is gone how do we know that the money didn't come from the SNPs Westminster short money? I will be extremely angry if my taxes have directly paid for his salt and pepper mills!
No wonder our first minister is desperate to avoid the issue.
@The_Red_Dandy@afneil A funny concept is continually avoiding the economic realities of independence whilst spending much more than you earn because of the Barnet formula and pretending that independence wouldn't involve tartan austerity.
@brodie_prime@DouglasRob0 Could be although I've seen DB schemes where you can put in AVCs to "buy" extra entitlement. Alternatively you could just take out a SIPP. As I said previously it depends what is more valuable to the individual increased pension or time.
No matter what Scottish tax is too high!
@DouglasRob0 Depends on the scheme if it allows extra payments and any early retirement rules or you can set up a personal pension. By increasing pension payments you can lower taxable pay potentially avoiding a higher band of taxation. However time off may be more valuable to your colleague.
