I see the Portuguese villa has now been declared. Only nosiness on my part but wonder who owns the other 50%? 

It would be nice if you could spell out what this is for anyone not au fait with all the rumours and BS going about.

It seems the shock news is that not only does Peter Murrell own a half share of a holiday home in Portugal, but Kate Forbes is a member of the Free Church and Humza's sister is a pharmacist.

What a non story 😄

I suppose it’ll still get clicks though, given the ongoing leadership contest.

This wasn't membership fees though

It was two branch levies at a pound per member, it's all in the link

 

I have no idea what a 'branch levy' supposedly is because I've never heard of any such thing, but it's also worth pointing out that he appears to be contending that SNP membership was 86,000 at the end of 2019, which nobody is arguing about in the first place.

Well well well

Big wings was right...

I don't think anyone doubted that people had left the party, but it still has more members than all the other parties combined, and the people who have left likely include almost everyone daft enough to vote for Ash Regan, so I wouldn't call that a victory for the Bath Party.

The juxtaposition yesterday should not be lost. Whilst Johnson was trying and failing to justify his outrageous behaviour, Sturgeon was humbly apologising for forced adoptions. 

Today sees Nicola's last First Minister's Questions and I wonder if Douglas Ross will find that charm gene he has been searching for for all of his political life.

It's not about a win for Wings.

It's about him providing the correct information, yet again, which had previously been rubbished by the SNP and it's followers, including those on here.

He's a nasty wee nyaff, but his analysis is generally spot on.

Ross will start by saying something like "thanks for your years of service"then spend 5 times as long saying "however, SNP bad, Education, Economy, Memebership, Drug Deaths" etc

He is, as you say, an utterly charmless man.

Apologised to those accused of witchcraft too. She absolutely loves apologising for things she had nothing to do with.

Maybe she should apologise for treading water for 8 years and leaving the SNP in a state.

People shouldn’t be apologising for things over which they had no control.

Complete nonsense.

L'État, c'est moi. The victims of forced adoption had been asking for decades for recognition of the harm done to them by the State's institutions and the FM offered it on behalf of the nation. I don't see how anyone can think this was a bad thing for her to do.
