Former SNP Chief Murrell to Face Long Prison Sentence. 

Yesterday, the former chief executive of the Scottish National Party, Peter Murrell, was found guilty of embezzling £450k in party funds. According to a report in the Guardian, current SNP leader John Swinney claims to have been unaware of Murrell’s actions, as does his ex-wife and former first minister Nicola Sturgeon. The sheer amount of money spent and the variety of items is mind-boggling. According to a report on ITV, Murrell spent £3k on a high-end coffee machine, as well as £2k on salt and pepper shakers, a new VW Golf, a new Jaguar, and a £124k motorhome. The length of Murrell is unclear as of this writing, but he should have plenty of time to read the book of selected speeches by his ex-wife that he bought for £22.
