Nicola Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell re-arrested amid police investigation into SNP funding and finances
It comes more than a year after Mr Murrell was first arrested and released without charge, which saw the couple's home searched by police and a blue forensics tent erected outside the property.

I suspect this will actually have nothing to do with any wrongdoing on his part but everything to do with the vermin seeking to distract from their own indiscretions. Again.Peter Murrell, her husband, has been re-arrested.

I'm genuinely intrigued to know what kind of hold you think the Westminster government - which has responsibility/influence for policing in England and Wales, has over Police Scotland, which, err.. isn't in England or Wales....?

Westminster does call the shots with regards election timing...I think Police Scotland factored that with regards their timing

Could you explain your logic, because I'm not getting it...

I don't think the trial will happen ahead of the election..too much of a back log. But it's back undersubjudacy (2nd best outcome SNP could have hoped for)...best would have been getting their 'battle bus' back so they could use it
I didn’t realise that Corbyn had been accused of trousering bag loads of party donation funds.

My op said "this kind of thing", not "this exact thing". Ie. The state are interfering and preventing democracy from running it's course.

Hang on, Police Scotland, had complaints about money missing from the SNP, which must have been from someone involved in the party, of course they had to investigate.

These discussions have been had already. Did they need to tip off Sky news etc al to wait outside Sturgeon's gaff? Did they need to treat her garden like a murder scene? Of course not. Now get off your high horses lads.

yes. it was complaints from donors to the independence campaign that kicked this whole thing off.
If the Tories were accused of pilfering funds, would you then be calling for no state interference?

Obviously paper files detailing the embezzlement would have been the green, paper recycling bin.

You can't on the one hand call for Tories to be investigated / charged for corruption/theft/malfeasance and on the other call for no action to be taken because it's SNP functionaries who are suspected of similar crimes. An embarrassing position to be honest.
Would remind folk that a very dim view is taken of discussing live investigations / criminal charges in Scots law so be careful what you write as it could land U75 in bother.

Seems an odd time for the Tories to be conspiring to stitch up the SNP when the main beneficiary is likely to be the Labour party doesn't it.
