No statement has a greater impact than one in the form of a picture of a Word document from a laptop screen that hasn't been cleaned for 18 months. 

The knives are well and truly out now.

Will be interesting to see how Humza plays this.

Wow, that's amateurish at best. Almost as bad as Colin Beattie being unable to press the submit button when declaring items to the electoral commission on their website.

Is what Michelle Thomson describes what actually happened? If so, it does seem like a double standard is being applied here.

Aye, a pro would've printed it out and faxed it over to Elon Musk for submission.

It's like some of them have never used technology before.

What a spineless weasel he is

Michelle Thomson was suspended without being charged and was never arrested over fraud allegations, and those didn't even concern the party's own money

 

She wasn't suspended, she voluntarily resigned the whip.

In a statement, Ms Thomson said: "I am aware of the police investigation and will cooperate fully if required to do so. I have always acted within the law and look forward to being cleared of any wrongdoing.

"I have this afternoon decided to withdraw from the party whip whilst an investigation takes place. Once the investigation is concluded I look forward to returning to play a full role in party activities. I will be making no further comment on this matter."

She did however change her story the moment the police dropped their investigation 2 years later.

In one of the deals, a business partner of Ms Thomson's bought a home in Stirling for £64,000 from a cancer sufferer desperate to move, before selling it to Ms Thomson for £95,000 the same day. Ms Thomson then received a 'cashback' payment of more than £28,000 from her business partner.

That's twice that's been corrected now.

That's standard landlord behaviour TBF.

If you ever attend one of their wee conferences, all they talk about is how to take advantage of the terminally ill or mentally disabled to acquire new property on the cheap for their portfolio. They have an acronym for groups of vulnerable people that can be ripped off; anyone know the one I mean?

Fine whatabootery, gentlemen

So why hasn't Sturgeon had the grace to "resign the whip" while this is cleared up?

You assume she's under investigation. For all we know, she was taken in as a witness to give evidence.
