In honor of Pride month, here’s a list of countries in the Middle East that recognize same sex marriage:

1. Israel

⛔️This would be a very bad look.
Peter Murrell couldn’t have done this without the protection of his wife Nicola Sturgeon, and John Swinney spent years denying the disappearance of ringfenced funds until he changed his story on Wednesday.
👇There are big questions to answer.

Want less of something? Tax it. How many more examples of this does this government of twits need?

[Holyrood @HolyroodDaily]

SNP committee ‘power grab’ likened to ‘putting Dracula in charge of a blood bank’ https://t.co/izO5eprnMQ

Now we know where his salary was going

[Fraser Jackson @FrazJackson]

John Swinney confirms The SNP are being investigated by HMRC about fraudulent VAT rebates. That would mean that the public could now also be the victims of SNP fraud… oof.

@AmandaPCraig Jane Haining for a
Scottish bank note pls.

@GlasgowAlbum @mik61scot You should hear them on the mess GCC has made of roads and city centre

[ScotFax @scotfax]

Edinburgh International Book Festival 2017, Sturgeon interviews Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The same day or the day after Murrell buys Adichie's book.

This is just a question. Was it Murrell that bought it?

@LucyHunterB @Wass2020 Pretty sure @murdo_fraser referred to one of her US trips as her rainbow tour…

[Tom Gordon @DMScotPol]

🧵You couldn't make it up.

Amid the Peter Murrell and Indyref2 funding scandals, the SNP is proposing to take control of the Holyrood committees dealing with finance, criminal justice and public service reform by having its MSPs as both the convener and deputy convener..

Day 9 and the tainted gift library continues to be on full show by @NicolaSturgeon.

Living in the life of decadence provided by her criminal husband and flaunting the proceeds.

This is not a victim, this is someone laughing at the rest of us (and that includes all you nats).

[@GinaDavidson @ginadavidsonlbc]

And of course if it was part of the resources available to the SNP, it was clearly available to the man who had the access to the bank account and could transfer monies out without any other sign off... Peter Murrell.
Hard to say now how much of that money was embezzled.

[James Devine @jamesdev15]

@BrianSpanner1 The snp is still at the denial stage - like the party apparatchiks in Chernobyl - they think they are handling this well.

[ScotFax @scotfax]

Strugeon "deceived, misled and betrayed"

OK... so why exactly has she done a deal with lying criminal Murrell to protect £60K worth of 'Sturgeonesque purchases'?

This stunk before, now it's rancid.

[Scott Wortley @Scott_Wortley]

How can a party lose votes & seats, & end up with more control of the committee system in holyrood? The notion of having convener & deputy from the same party (the party of govt!) across committees doesn't encourage belief that there will be better scrutiny & cross party working

[Tom Harris 🇬🇧 @MrTCHarris]

Say what you like about Nicola Sturgeon. . . No, that's it. Say what you like.

BREAKING: Police Scotland are investigating whistleblower claims that a fake company received payments for SNP ‘office refurbishment’ (via @Daily_Record) https://t.co/agzCRWwfAL

[James Devine @jamesdev15]

@AmandaPCraig @NewStatesman Agreed on questioning her as a reviewer. But does she really read? Pretty convinced this a PR exercise to give her some sort of hinterland. Her interviews on the subject are somewhat contradictory.
