NEW: Sky News came to Ireland in an attempt to question Nicola Sturgeon about claims she shut down scrutiny of SNP finances at the same time her ex-husband Peter Murrell stole £400k from party.

She entered the kitchen to avoid questions with security pushing me away.

A Holyrood inquiry would clearly not re-investigate Murrell’s crimes.

It would examine the governance failures that allowed a thief to steal from the SNP for 12 years.

Not hard to grasp this distinction.

EXCL: Peter Murrell 'stole money' from Alex Salmond over thirty years ago.

Four sources close to Salmond say the sum was between £500 and £2700.

The late First Minister also blamed Murrell for furniture belonging to his wife's late mum vanishing.

SW1 peak outrage. Most lobby hacks ask absolutely pish questions that don’t have any bearing on anyone outside of Londons day to day life, content creators will probably ask better questions

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

How about me?

[Ryan Capperaukd @ryancapperauld]

The idea that someone earning around 50k a year living in a city in like London (where 50k gets you just about nothing a year) and trying to put some money in their pension is the problem is laughable.

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

Rachel Reeves will announce a stealth tax raid on retirement savings, a move experts said would reduce take-home pay and cut the size of pension pots

The chancellor is expected to use the budget to limit a tax break on pension contributions for both employers and employees to raise up to £2 billion a year

Reeves has decided not to cut pension lump-sum withdrawals due to concerns about the impact on pensioners. It means people who retire will be able to continue making tax-free drawdown payments worth 25 per cent of a total pension pot up to a maximum of £268,275

The chancellor will instead target salary sacrifice schemes as she attempts to fill a gap in the public finances of up to £30 billion

Reeves is expected to use the budget to cap the amount of someone’s salary that can be sacrificed without incurring national insurance payments at £2,000 a year

Any pension contributions over that level would result in an employee paying the full rate of national insurance of 8 per cent on a salary of less than £50,000 and 2 per cent on income above that

There are concerns that the crackdown will penalise people for “trying to do the right thing” and save for their retirement as well as being detrimental to company pension schemes
