  1. Completely agree with her on this, including her point on all Governments having to do better in terms of releasing FOIs

    The burner phone thing has ended up being a smear, as they were bought for staffers and reports show that all political parties have bought “burner” phones for similar reasons.

    We’ve yet to have any substantial allegations against the former ex-FM. Just the usual cries of secrecy and cover-up without any specific accusations or evidence.

  3. I do not doubt that the Tories are doing everything they can to smear the SNP. We just need to take this into account whenever we see a hit piece. That doesn’t mean that the SNP haven’t done anything wrong; it just means that we should treat these things with a little more skepticism than usual

  4. its simple

    the snp presented themselves as the sensible, pragmatic, trustworthy party of transpancy during covid, that is now being torn apart whilst it should have been at the time,

    ffs the day sturgeon was alleged to have met salmond to discuss the allegations made against him, her diary has nothing written down for that day, no meetings, no day off note, she apazz sat in a room and stared at a wall all day according to her

  5. All these politicians are crooks and don’t abide by the rules. Doesn’t matter SNP, Tory, Labour, etc, they are all a disgrace.

    During Covid they just made up rules hoping to outdo one another with no actual thought to how it would affect the average person or the economy. The only country that got it right was Sweden, and if you think back to all the hit piece articles and propaganda against Sweden at the time, it’s laughable today. That negativity was all pushed by the crooked lowlife politicians who we are now seeing for what they all are.

  6. The biggest smear campaign agains snp is Nicola Sturgeon
