SCOTLAND: Sturgeon’s SNP Under Fire For £14M Credit Card Bill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2023
- More than £14 million of taxpayers' cash was spent on credit card transactions by Scottish civil servants in three years, figures obtained by Scottish Labour revealed.
The spending included almost £10,000 on VIP airport upgrades, yoga classes, nail polish, and a £4,182 stay at Gleneagles Hotel while Nicola Sturgeon was First Minister.
A Holyrood spokesperson confirmed that First Minister Hamza Yousaf has ordered a review of spending on government-issued bank cards.
Commenting on the story, TalkTV's Mike Graham says: "We are in the grip of... some of the most corrupt politicians who have ever lived!"
Annabel Denham, the deputy comment editor at The Telegraph, says news about Sturgeon's spending of taxpayers' money will have repercussions in the by-election.

I am from Scotland and my family and I will never vote for SNP or Labour. Its not going to happen.
Agree but who then? I used to be a Tory voter but can't vote for Sunak, nor Johnson.
BS and Lie Detector blew up again.
Thats just a few less votes Roland. More lies and flim flam from the SNP and a screening of Mel Gibson shouting " Freeeeeeedom." And the SNP donkeys will be conned into re- electing them.
As an Englishman I always thought the people of Scotland would always vote SNP especially sturgeon because she is anti English and hates English people
@@yvonnehayton6753 yes, hard to stomach certain aspects of current Conservative party.
She should be in prison along with her other half they are crooks
that will only happen in a real country. UK is a c0rporation, a criminal c0rporation at that.
@@TrotterTowers I can’t say what I would like to happen to her in a men’s prison but you can probably guess

What other country would endure their PM or President being married to the Chief Executive of the political party. No one in Scotland blinked an eye.
USA where.you.get the.president and his.wife and noone votes for.her
And yet the hard of thinking still vote for the SNP.
Blinded by hatred .
Hard of thinking 🤣
They have killed their grandparents but still they vote.
@@HarryEtsko?
It's what you get when your dead from the neck up. A sort of the lights on but no one's at home.
There’s a surprise MPs living the high life of the back of tax payers never heard that before 😂👍

The EU Chief Ursula Vonder Layer and her housband profit per 1 hour = 78 000 euro they are owners a BIOTECH VACCINE
They are a bunch of corrupt politicians. Wish they were really examined by an authority
The only interest she has is herself.
TheScots had a lucky escape from Sturgeon and her cohorts. She loved the power not the people.
Sturgeon hasn’t gone away. She continues to lead from behind the scenes. Dictators don’t go away voluntarily.
LOL i think you can apply that statement to the entire UK g0vt.
The lucky escape was not soon enough. Has she escaped or is she slyly in hiding to reappear when her criminal activities investigations cool down. ? I can’t believe she still has an MSP salary . Where is she ? and where in the media is her questioning by the police reported. Will she be made accountable as she should ?
There is skullduggery going on somewhere here in this police investigation. Or is it the Crown Office to blame ?
@@tigading2177 We are interested in Scotland and what Sturgeon and her husband & Co. has done to it. What answers yet to the mega money that disappeared under her watch.
Make them and the SNP accountable and stop their obvious distractions to prevent this.
She is still running the SNP just won’t have to answer anything and use her puppet useless
As a Scot, I knew all about the dubious financial goings-on behind the scenes of the SNP. A total rip-off racket and my only question is, will the Government authorities step in and take her and her SNP jackasses to court?
You a scot , you're a britnat w⚓️
@@dundeeguyI know that Scot is spelled with a capital 'S' and I'm English. 🇬🇧
Prob not, they all resign. They are ALL Scumbags the lot of them!....
Thank God there was no issue for her, one more of her kind is too much
And her book can stay on the shelf. Fiction should sit well with her, she has lived it fully her whole life.
What a wicked woman.
corrupt to the core, demolish devolution. end it!
I kept hoping this wasnt true but it just kept on getting worse, and worse and worse as she judged Blair and the Conservative Government as she went on and did far worse.
Far worse than Blair?....thats a tough one.
She'll blame the English govt for it like she blamed them for everything else
Point your fingers at others to take the eyes off yourself- the mantra of a politician
Not really, he has another Scot, Gordon Brown, who "wanted" to play Prime Minister@@noodles8203
How many 100'S OFBILLIONS OF £'S HAVE THE TORIES LOST THE UK BY GIVING COVID CONTRACTS TO MATES FAMILY AND DONNERS AND FRAUDULENT BOUNCE BACK LOANS FFS😡😡😡😡😡
No one will be charged;they all dine together + there was no face lift
£14 million lets face it this money has been stolen, will anyone be prosecuted. ?
NO
You cannot get Teflon sturgeon framed. Way too slippery.
The problem with politicians, our elected servants and representatives is that they do not want to serve or represent. They want to rule and sneer down their noses at the electorate. They treat us with contempt and should be treated severely in return.
crooks the whole country knows it.
Where Is Michelle Mone and the £29 million Of tax payers money on failed PPE ?
Bahamas?
Livin it large
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Wish i had a credit card funded by tax payers money , i use it to pay my utilities bills , i could have the heating on in the cold weather without worrying , what a luxury, my word i wouldnt know myself 😊
It's bloody freezing aswell, and we cannot turn the heating on in is day an age!...😢
So true 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏
It's only public money why should any politician care what they spend. We have the same thing here in New Zealand. Lots of frivolous spending with no real consequences save our taxes going up to cover for them.
ah thats where all the money went nicola
All the money went on the interest and minimum monthly payment!
Sturgeon acts like a dictator and spends cash like a dictator.
Talk pish
Fantastic rebuttal 👏
@@undergroundimages8131tell that to the guy whos doing a sentence for calling her a German during the 30s
@@Johno1992 what lol 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
accurate though...you are talking pish@@aliorr9356
All politicians are on the fiddle, have been forever, i'm at the stage now though, that i think the electorate deserve it! ;)
couldn't agree more, and people still thinks that v0ting will solve their problems LOL.
Spot on Mike, crooks all of them , preach one thing and go spend , spend when its for them.
Why is anybody surprised that the SNP have no idea when it comes to the spending of tax payers money.
Name them and how much they have spent make them pay it back to the people of Scotland as blackford kept saying
Being an MP is like an open cheque book and they know at best it might be a slap on the wrist. Disgusting.
Are there no truly good to the core people in the world that can handle power and responsibility without taking the piss and abusing it?
It is a fact, the number of outrageous expense claims made by MPs/MSPs in recent years should raise the eyebrows of every UK citizen. Most of these claims are nothing less than criminal theft and the perpetrators should be brought to book.
Nicola, just how many motor homes did you buy?
14 Million Credit Card Bill.....Sturgeon what is going on
You've no idea what £14m over 3 years means of what it was spent on and whether it was right or wrong. It's pathetic sensationalist journalism and doesn't deserve comment until it's presented in a factual and entire manner. I deplore "snouts in the trough" but no one knows if this £14m includes mis-spending. How about Talk Tv does a feature in Michele Moan and the £30m of PPE profit that made its way into her family trust and the PPE that couldn't be used. There's a real story and real £millions that need dissected by the media.
i thought she was going to be arrested 2 weeks ago, what happened
Nothing will happen as usual.
How many camper vans could they have bought for £14m?
I need to add, I only wish the press had really headlined them so much earlier the goings on at the SNP. She was immune from serious attacks by the UK press and it appears its only up here in Scotland that many suspected things were not as they should be.
The Scottish media were absolutely pathetic with their kid gloves treatment of her.
@@classicrock3474 they are paid participants, not journalist.
Nicola sturgeon is just the Same S All the other corrupt politicians in this country
The Scottish press have been utterly s***. It almost felt to me that their attitude was "sturgeon, dynamic leader, Sturgeon, tough stuff." Etc, then one day, in the latter half of 2022 they suddenly decided they didn't like her and that she had to go. FINALLY we had the media asking basic questions about the GRR bill and what a woman is to Sturgeon's face...and of course, she just sort of collapsed. She's never been all that competent, or all that clever. Sure, she is smart, but 90% of what she believes in is bull and can be easily dismantled with questions a 5 year old could have posed.
It was the other way round, all criticism of Kranky, from the English press was judged to be an attack on Scotland and independence and your comments clearley make that point. The Scots have got what they deserve by not accepting that she has turned Scotland into a joke. The best education system, destroyed, the worst drug problem in the UK, the health system now the worst in the UK, the ferry service to the Islands an absolute joke. What happened to the monies provided by Westminster to ease the Covid problems. Where’s all this money gone ?
She's writing her memoirs. Should have plenty of time from a prison cell.
How can she write her memoirs when she can't remember anything she did?
Mein kamp from her prison cell
Well, I hope it's on soft paper as I will wiping my arse on it!
Is she allowed to profit from her crimes ?
@@BongWeasle
Ah, but she's writing it before she's charged and jailed. Is that why she's still on the loose? Is she still dictating the timelines? Who has choreographed it so far? 1. She resigns-- out of the blue.
2. Useless , takes over.
3.She and hubby are fortunately having breakfast in the same house when he's arrested and she leaves (with a large bag) while police launch a search.
4. Hubby comes home, free and they have time together before
5. She's arrested and let go. Flowers to soothe her trauma. Aaww.
So neat and tidy. What was in the bag? Credit cards? Did the search warrant not cover searching it?
I cannot remember when the UK actually had a prime minister who had the indigenous population at the centre of their thoughts.
We have concurrently had elitists PM's from the right background and from the right school/ university. These people have had no interest in how to make the living conditions of the population better of with a better lifestyle.
We have a number of lawyers and barristers in Westminster and we can see how squeakier than clean a lot of those can be, just look at Ms Sturgeon, or the Labour Councillor advertising that she could help any illegals in the UK get get the relevant paperwork.
We need a PM who will stand up for us, the people and not acquis to the likes of the civil service with their woke ways.
Maggie Thatcher was the last one who was even close!
@@HarryEtsko you are absolutely spot on buddy. just goes to show st00pid people exists all over UK. Uk operates a system of extreme c0porate capitali!sm, where ordinary people are being expl0ited, the sad ir0ny, is the people paid for their own enslavement and d0n't even know it. LOL
Oliver Cromwell...?
Possibly Harold Wilson, but more likely Clement Atley
Well, you'll have to wait about 50 yrs William, till we're a full islamic caliphate owned by Saudi Arabia. They don't even recognise other races as humans. Only people allowed in there are their slaves.
I wonder if these 580000 card transactions also included mortgage payments, council tax and electric bills.
Possibility and that’s our n tax money , we have to struggle to pay bills ,
Stupid comment
Probably
You can bet on it
As crooked as a dogs hind leg.
I'm stunned! Only 14 million?
Probably JUST Nicolas "incidentals" so the rest of the SNP were probably paid by some other "government" scheme?
...that's scratching the surface.
What happened to money sent to Scotland for the covide virus. ??
Socialism: Poverty evenly spread to the society (wealth concentration to the party).
As a Scot I'm not voting for either Labour or Scottish Labour. The main party due to the stance on immigration and SL for voting for the GRR bill.
hate to burst the bubble but Labour, like all the other parties are just the same
Oh aye you would rather keep the Scottish nasty party fool
Dont matter who you vote for now alex......
No MP of any party can risk taking a hard stance on immigration. The loony left have so poisoned the press and media, anyone trying is immediately screamed "RACIST" at.
End of their career.
Look how many recent Tory Home Secretaries who have genuinely tried and been trashed and demonised by the cowardly left for their efforts. It's not Torys stopping the deportations, or waving dopey little refugees welcome signs. People need to recognise and admit who the real traitors are.
What about the snp corruption with animal farm behaviour. Will u vote for them ?
I support independance as a concept but muppets like Salmond and Sturgeon are why i wouldnt vote for it. Leadership in the UK as a whole is diablocal.
You were not going to get independence. You were going to be subjugated by Brussels, for which Sturgeon and her cohorts would have been very well rewarded....
Nobody with a brain wouldn't want to be independent from the clown show that is Westminster but the SNP are magnitudes worse
Fish
@@DS-xf8yr Their both muppets and puppets.
The SNP changed course on independence once they said they wanted Scotland to join the EU and all illegal migrants welcome,that's nothing to do with independence but globalism and the WEF agenda.not one establishment has been set up by the SNP to make it possible for Scotland to gain independence,all mouth puppets for the globalist WEF.
This can't be true. 14 million???
Anything is possible with the Scottish nazi party!
When in God's sake are we going to revolt against this unfairness..
I do not recall or remember
Make her pay the money bac
Jail her
Not a math person, but £14,000,000.00 divided by 3 years is £4,666,666.66 ish per year divided by 365 = £12,785.39........ Per DAY!!!!!! This has to be investigated and the illegal spenders prosecuted.
I think we all know who needs *debanked* 🤣🤣
It's far worse than you could ever have imagined.
Poor baby picked up by Krankie. What a terrible thing for that little child. Parents should be more careful.
What?
Is it not time for the so-called Scottish Parliament to be taken into Special Measures?
Filth
14M🤔😳…..WTF!
Jimmy cranky should be made to pay the lot back!!👌
Jail her
This story gets better and better…who would have thought?
She should be in prison thick as theifs the lot of them snp and the greens
Simple the money thats gone missing from the SNP gone to pay their credit card bill 😂
I'll sum up sturgeons legacy in the next four words , failure, failure, failure corruption 👍
I would like to know if this was reported in Scotland, I suspect not.
It wasnt
It was, there's an article in the herald. We don't completely censure ourselves up here.
Did the police discover this or did sturgeon volunteer this information. ??
Police Scotland 🏴discover evidence! Aye right! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Sturgeon would never volunteer anything up except to say that it was all Westminster,
Where is Dido Harding and the £37 billion on Track and trace ?
not a lot spent on hair styling
Plastic surgery ?
She fooled lots of people for a long time.
Under fire! They should be in the nick!
SNP spin doctors already scrambling about trying to identify similar spending at Westminster, so that they can scream “whataboot, whataboot.”
That POOR baby! That's child cruelty.
Any credit card I ever had the limit was £1500 .
Oh ,what a difference a year makes to these creatures.
Quite sure you wouldn't have to look too deeply to uncover a similar situation in England.
What has England got to do with what the SNP have been up to? Which is what the subject of this posting is about. Do try to stop deflecting.
The SNP on the gravy train. Get them out.
Democracy, corruptocracy more like!
NO ONE WAS HANDCUFFED!!🤦🙀😷
How’s the enquiry into the 37 billion missing funds into track and trace and PPE, give us a clue
Probably the same as the Russian inquiry.......
Scottish Labour is the branch group of Tory Labourvin England ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the U.K is going to choose the guy who turned a blind eye to Jimmy saville! Well done 👌👌 im voting reform uk
Absolutely disgusting
Wow what next.
Name a politician in any country who has not rorted the system. "Do as i say, not as I do" There should be limits on what a politician can spend on ie travel, entertainment, office essentials plus spot audits. When it's someone else's money I don't care.
Wasted... could have bought leadership training
DONT YOU JUST LOVE THE UNTOUCHABLES FOR TAKING THE BISCUIT AND THEN TAKING THE FKN BISCUIT!!
Credit card normally 28% APR
Where's Scottish Ross to defend his heroes? Gone very quiet recently. 🤡
How's that for deflection?
You spelt Dross incorrectly.....😂
They all have their snouts in the trough !
Where's Braveheart when you need him???
Sturgeon! The greatest agent England has ever had in Scotland.
What’s going on here ? Her type and dictatorial manner is that she knew ALL going on in the SNP.
Why the delay ? She should be in prison instead!, is getting an MSP
salary. Says it all really and this unimpressive police investigation and the time it is taking to charge her.
Just a few words: Sunak; Helicopter flights, Lorna Slater; Private Yacht, Sturgeon; Airport Security, Labour party peer; curtains. Duck-houses, moats, etc., etc.. No-one and no party is free of over-reaching on the gravy train. The Telegraph owned the MPs over this.
Which Labour politician said that Scottish devolution would kill the Scottish independence movement stone dead?
Lastly, I would love your pal Alex to discuss this with Denham in his calm, well informed way, she shows her lack of journalistic neutrality by using that old insult of "The Scottish Nationalist Party" and I would be interested if her claim that Sturgeon was put in the back of a police car in handcuffs has any evidence.
On a taxpayer funded binge. Why am I not surprised?
Douglas Ross the only one who exposes them
Pathetic attempt by police to discredit SNP for the purchase of a black pudding ,Baroness Mone steals 26million and no police outside her door.
Why bother when the tax paying plebs foot the bill.
She should be locked 🔒 up for fraud
' Bit... bit... Yoons/ Westminster/ everybody else's fault '
It doesn't matter what form of Government gets into power thay all become dictators who do not and will not listen to the people we are classed as peasants who should pay our taxes but not allowed to ask or demand questions to parliament so basically we are not a democratic country but a dictatorship example Brexit Illegal immigrants the list goes on and on we the peasants have no say
Send them the bill
Crooks!
Why hasn’t a Tory Government been elected in Scotland since 1955 .
What's that got to do with the SNP's dodgy spending? Or do you just follow the steps in the SNP indoctrination leaflet? Step 1 deflect, step 2 blame Westminster, step 3 never think.
@@monkeynews8311If there legitimate costs it's hardly "dodgy" in case you haven't noticed things are getting a touch more expensive under the complete economic mismanagement of the tories in Westminster.....
@@peterscott2395 Have you read the report of what the money had been spent on? Nah didn't think so or you wouldn't have made such a stupid reply.
@@monkeynews8311 were they or were they not legitimate claims? Asking for a "stupid" friend! One could argue that liz truss hiring a jet to Australia that had a few folk on it wasn't the best but unfortunately like it or not it's legitimate. Food for your obviously very limited thoughts though is that this spending was also done by civil servants and not just party politicians. I doubt that matters to you though. You'll have to try harder sweetcheeks 😘
@@peterscott2395 So you haven't bothered to read it then and just made assumptions? Thought so, glad we got to the bottom of that so quickly.
Again, what's that got to do with the SNP's dodgy spending? Is there a secret rule somewhere I've missed that states you must first criticise Westminster if you're going to criticise the SNP?
Sounds more like deflection to me because you have no real counter argument. Try and think before you open your ignorant mouth "sweetcheeks"
IF they remake Hogans Heros, she could play Shultz " I know nothing" it wiznah me ! How does she not see a giant luxury mobile home parked at tge mother inlaws ? 100K !
Absolutely disgusting behaviour
How f much !!!!!!!😮
I dont think Sturgeon will lose any sleep over this after all is not her personal Visa bill and the SNP will pay it and dont forget they will get the air miles.
Why is everyone still talking about her and not doing something about all the money her and hubby have been taking,shocking
Current unelected first minister needs to be investigated too.
MP's cant survive on 100k? but they in the same day will cripple thousands of peoples dreams, poorer people who earn far less than 30k to Political corrupt greed is sickening.
