    I think it's stretching to blame NS here. Hospitals are unfortunately a dangerous place to be and no country managed infection control during this. She had quite a lot on her plate to be responsible for a single nhs enquiry
    If agree with that. I don't think NS has performed particularly well last 6 months (to be fair to her, she's basically carrying her party by herself) but I'm not sure a tragedy like this can be placed at her door.

    I remain unclear about this. Is it a retrial? If so, on what grounds?

    Judges Lord Carloway, Lord Glennie and Lord Turnbull quashed the ex-politician's embezzlement convictions following a hearing at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh.

    The judges made their ruling after hearing submissions, which cannot be reported for legal reasons, from defence advocate Gordon Jackson QC.

    It's a retrial. The original convictions were appealed, and quashed.

    Cheers. Forgive my ignorance but why does her case then return to court?

    See LH's post above. Can only surmise the appeal court ordered it.

    LOL. The Spectator!

    Their writers are a list of the UK's biggest controversialists!
    Liddle, Young, O'Neill - all people you should run a mile to avoid.
    Save yourself time and ignore anything that comes from that cesspit.

    I'm sure you do. I'm content to not be a fan of anything associated with Rod Liddle.

    Liddle is another prick who writes pish in an attempt to appear relevant. His ultra right wing opinions are sickening, Also don’t read Spector

    Spectator's arguably got the strongest team of quality writers contributing to any UK publication, hence its trend-busting circulation figures for a print magazine. I don't agree with all of the opinions by any means but refusing to read anything that doesn't tally with your own views is a lazy and easy get-out.

    Or it could just reflect the growth of right wing thinking down south?

    I think I'll stick with Viz for my quality writing 😉
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    The thing is there are lots of articles that would tally with lots on here though. Some example headlines from articles:

    How to waste an 80 seat majority
    Zelensky has saved Boris
    Boris's Brexit Ukraine comparison was a mistake
    Is Boris in denial about the impending economic crisis
    Boris is finished, its when not if

    And many more like it.

    Can't see The National running anything that's remotely critical of the SNP.

    Yet growth has been highest in Scotland.

    But he rather understates The Spectator’s popularity north of the border. Our surge to 100,000 sales has been disproportionately helped by surge in Scottish readership. Per capita, its (way) higher than England.

    I’m not surprised. They have made a massive push to gain unionist readers in Scotland. They run about as many negative stories about NS as they do about Megan Markle or the EU.

    I read it but am an SNP voter. Nothing wrong with reading other people's views.

    With regards to the spectator it's just as well the articles, most of, aren't fact checked.

    I guess so. Are different witnesses then able to be called? Today's evidence that McGarry was simply handed signed blank cheques by the signatory to the group's accounts casts WFI in a pretty embarrassing light. I don't recall this sort of evidence being presented last time but maybe I've just forgotten:

    Its getting petty as **** and mostly from the unionists. There are multiple pictures of party leaders and campaigners indoors and in groups in close proximity to each other but someone felt it necessary to report NS to the police!? What a ****ing waste of police time and what a way to actually announce you have no policies or ideas that will get folk to vote for you

    It's law to have one in the barbers. She should get fined like all the tories. She made the rules, preached them, so live by them. Not as boris who lied to parliament, but those who make the rules should follow them and no make daft excuses

    That's pathetic stuff from the Tories, especially as the rule will over in less than 6 hours time. Trying anything tk draw attention away from their leader.

    Nonsense both leaders made the rules and should be punished like the riff raff.
