I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician’s hypocrisy, pomposity and sheer disingenuousness exposed so starkly on TV. Trevor Phillips gives a masterclass in exposing all three traits in the floundering Lammy. A must watch.

Allegations of cash for seats coming on top of serious questions for the Crown & the Police make it increasingly likely there will be a Westminster inquiry. Scottish public life will be fixed from above unless the Scottish Government has the guts to set up an independent inquiry.
Today's front page: A businessman boasted of giving Peter Murrell £50,000 to help a relative become an MP. #scotpapers Read More: dailyrecord.co.uk/news/peter…

Throwing bins at police in Southampton = Quick jail Battering police at Manchester Airport = Long drawn out let off

The same police force who handcuffed Henry Nowak and called him a liar as he died, did this to the people protesting it. Nobody can say there's no two tier policing and judiciary in the UK. The whole world sees it.

When you start attacking journalists for quoting your own words back to you it's a sign things are unravelling.
💬 @JohnSwinney today admitted there weren't "adequate controls" to prevent Murrell's thieving. "The systems in place shouldn't have been able to be abused but they were." I reminded him last week he said the systems did not fail. Response: "DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH!"

I fear I have been too hard on Nicola Sturgeon for not seeing the camper van parked on her mother-in-law’s driveway. I now understand her husband hid it behind 108 loo rolls. Apologies.

Found time to tweet about football but can’t find the time to tweet about Henry Nowak. Sickening priorities. What a sad & despicable man you are. You have a son of similar age. Shame on you.
Football fans should come first. That’s why I’m urging FIFA to take action to ensure people buying World Cup tickets are not ripped off. It’s unacceptable for fans to be exploited for wanting to cheer on their country on the biggest stage. thesun.co.uk/news/39255818/k…

Good news for Sturgeon is she now gets to avoid her own higher tax band.

🚨 The Murrell of all car crash interviews!! Makes Andrew Mountbatten's stories about not sweating and Pizza Express in Woking seem credible by comparison. 😂🤡 #bbclaurak #BrassNic #Sturgeon

Looks like @NicolaSturgeon (him/not me) is hot favourite to win a second #Oscar for her performance on @bbclaurak this morning. Waterworks on cue. Meryl Streep eat your heart out..............

It’s not often I write a post like this, but I feel I need too. After 19 years as a cop, and giving my life for the public I’ve never met, believing in a better tomorrow…..I’m utterly disgusted, ashamed and have absolutely no faith in our justice system anymore. An officer was fired for arresting a violent offender, who was armed with a weapon, because he had used some naughty words. The same ex-officer tackled a shoplifter who’s been charged with a plethora of offences, but has now been charged with assault after taking the offender to the floor. (Which is what he was trained to do) Then two violent thugs, assault various people, attack female officers, and when an officer steps in to do his job, they can’t get a guilty verdict or won’t run a final trial. I’m lost for words and have absolutely no faith in CPS, their decision making, or the justice system. This is not just a case for the police, but shows the greater community that if you’re decent and law abiding, witness a crime and want to help…..you’ll have the book thrown at you. However if you want to fight to police……it’s perfectly fine to do so.

I don’t want to live in a country where a boy can die by drowning in his own blood because the police cared more about arresting an alleged racist. I don’t want to live in a country where a female police officer can have seven shades of sh*t kicked out of her without punishment.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad have been cleared over the alleged assault of a male police officer at Manchester Airport. The English were swooped up and jailed en masse for social media posts at the same time this was happening. You see it yet?

She is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. She is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction should be perfectly intelligible to anyone except the disingenuous.
NEW: Nicola Sturgeon has hit out at the news coverage of Peter Murrell’s embezzlement from the SNP, saying it is not 'fair' she is being held responsible 'for the crimes of somebody else' after she was cleared by police
Community note
Nicola Sturgeon was not cleared by police; they investigated and submitted a report to COPFS, which decided not to prosecute. copfs.gov.uk/the-justice-pr… copfs.gov.uk/publications/p…
