Aren't you somewhat conveniently overlooking the missing Covid billions in your summation of 'most dodgy' types? ... and also what Michelle Mone and her hubby unashamedly siphoned into their own coffers?

Yeah, Labour seems to be onto them.
We can only hope that they themselves have integrity and put an end to it
Yeh Lets hope so.
And to have the balls to prosecute all of the boris lot and his rotten left overs too.
I read something funny yday about this voter id thing the tories brough in.
More tory minsiters in 14 years have been convicted of sexual assault than people for voter fraud in 50 years.
Same thing they're doing going now after the disabled for being on benefits when tax evasion losses mainly ducked by thier donors are in the 100s of millions every year .

I'm a bit of a cynical bastard when it comes to this stuff, and having listened to Yousaf's speech, I wonder if he felt the same as me, that maybe there was more to this than meets the eye, @Welshie hit on it when he mentioned Gaza - that cynical bastard in me suggests he was stitched up, sadly he put himself in a postion to be stitched up, demonstrating once again, honesty is not always the best policy especially in politics.
I just watched the Kenyan born mayor of derry say in a very Kenyan accent that the Irish are terrorists for protesting about the tent city's of immigrants currently popping up.

His biggest issues were the state of the Scottish budget, education & disharmony within the coalition government.
I believe he recently took out like £196m out of the Scottish housing budget ... then tried to pass off yesterday a "£80m increase in the housing budget." So, he cut the budget by £116m. These types of two faced policy decisions turned voters away, putting his leadership under pressure.
Then he U-turned on key environmental pledges which were key to holding the entire Scottish government together.
I actually think Hamza could have easily hung on to power with Green support until the next Scottish election and might have ended up remaining the biggest Scottish party, but instead he ****ed up his entire relationship with the Greens and jeprodised the entire government for really no reason.
Maybe Hamza realised the Scottish Government didn't have £196M to spend on the housing budget?....maybe the Sturgeons bought more than an RV or maybe they just blew all the budget without a care in the world how they were actually going to pay for their promises, and hid behind rhetoric such as Westminster or Boris while fiddling the books.
Tbh mate I think it's more a combination of being bent over by the Greens who he needed to keep the SNP in power, and him handling being bent over really badly. From what I've read and heard, he wanted to pull out of the 2030 climate target, the Greens didn't. He went to the players in his party and checked he could pull out of the confidence and supply agreement. They gave him the ok, but later when the motion for a vote of no confidence was put forward and he was considering going to Alex Salmond's Alba party to get the 1 vote he needed to stay in power, those same players said no fcking way. At that point it was all over. So in a large part it shows he brought it on himself because of his own naivety or lack of political nous.
Btw both Labour and Tories are steaming head first into this vote of no confidence, but they really could fck themselves over on this
If there's an election in Scotland, the tories would get wiped out and Labour would at best only be able to form a minority goverment themselves. If I'm Kier Starmer the last thing I want is a minority Labour government in Scotland months prior to a UK GE because they'll inherit all the problems in advance and every bit of negative news from across the border will fall on him. Not just that, but Scotland have some advantages like free prescriptions and the child poverty payments we don't have in England - so what do Labour do there? It's a headache Starmer does not need.Basically everyone from SNP to Greens to Tories to Labour are like fcking turkeys voting for Christmas... bloody stoopid jocks
Big trouble brewing in Ireland.I just watched the Kenyan born mayor of derry say in a very Kenyan accent that the Irish are terrorists for protesting about the tent city's of immigrants currently popping up.

They aren’t going to sit back and accept losing their kids placement at the local school or not being able to see a GP within a reasonable timeframe or struggle with housing shortages. They aren’t like us. There’s already been ‘incidents’. The gangs have more power than the law over there. They’ll deal with it themselves.
