Peter Murrell is sentenced to five years and three months after he admitted embezzling more than £400,000 from the SNP
Quote:

Ahead of the judge's sentencing remarks, the court heard that there are sufficient funds for Murrell to repay the embezzled sum
So how did he get legal aid?

Quote:

Judge says it remains unclear why Murrell caried out the embezzlement
It started shortly after they got married.

So how did he get legal aid?

I think it’s offered very broadly when serious criminal charges are involved. There may be a mechanism for clawing some of it back later, possibly by putting a charge on assets.

Shortly after he learned he’d have to get his thrills elsewhere …

A complaint has been made to Police Scotland alleging £1.5m unaccounted for by Yes Scotland Ltd.

Famously, the Scottish Greens co-leader Ross Greer MSP took to social media to vouch for the character of Peter Murrell for getting him a pay rise when he worked there.

It’s unclear under what authority this pay rise was made as Yes Scotland were a separate legal entity from the SNP.

There should be full investigation , more than Murrell should be behind bars, this is a big cover up.

David Davis has just used parliamentary privilege to say some very uncomfortable things about Nicola Sturgeon. It’s well worth watching the video of his speech which he has shared on Xitter, but bear in mind that he can say things in the chamber that the rest of us can’t repeat here without risk of being sued by Nippy (although the chances of that are of course extremely slim). :D

It is legally permissible to report whatever is said in parliament, and such reports are protected by legal privilege as long as they’re fair and accurate.

And on the basis of being fair, Sturgeon has released a rebuttal via her lawyer.

Though her complaint that he’s hiding ‘like a coward’ behind the legal privilege of speaking in Westminster is a bit rich coming from someone who used the legal privilege of saying ‘no comment’ for several hours whilst being questioned by Polis Scotland.

Didn’t realise they restricted videos to those logged in. Nice Youtube find though. :tu:
