Could have been worse - O2 can charge £7 per megabyte there.

The strangest thing is that with all that’s gone on since his holiday - resignations, leadership race and campervans nobody thought 11 grand was a price worth paying to avoid the story until after it came out.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

As always, it’s the cover up the gets you. That they still don’t get that is a concerning glimpse into what an amateurish operation the SNP currently is.

When the details were emerging at first I was slightly sympathetic - nobody knew the rates being charged but a search indicates that EE on some tariffs can go as far as that.

At approx 1.5GB bad timing of some app updates or an iOS update would easily take you into that ballpark.

However the breakdown by day was pretty damning.

As Chris alludes to in the post above - someone somewhere should have thought 11 grand would stand out. Approximately doubling the whole bill for Parliament in a year, it doesn't take too many FOI requests to get to who and when. A free dice roll for some journalists or opposition researchers.

If my organisation claimed I'd used up hundreds of pounds of mobile use - never mind thousands - my first instinct would be to find out where and when. So the idea it took until last Thursday for his 'family to own up' stretches credibility. Would he not raise the figure with his family and whether he should pay it when first approached?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

I personally think the bigger problem is that a provider should be allowed to run up an £11,000 data bill, that is the crime here not allowing his kids on his iPad

On a business account it's not unreasonable. I've run up some hefty bills while working overseas.

SNP rocked by discovery of intimate texts revealing two politicians' torrid lockdown affair - at the same time the party insisted Scots stayed home
This party has denied this saying the allegations have been around for months.

Seems an odd one, has the sense of one of those stories keeping the names under wraps is untenable in the social media age (there’s already as much speculation as you’d imagine on Twatter).

Should had a payg tariff. Where being overcharged and surprising bills are impossible. #takebackcontrol
