Tell that to Sturgeon and Scooter who think that 43K a year makes you a higher earner.
I suppose Sturgeon will have avoided paying that though since the money was funneled through Nictola Sturgeon Ltd.

NICOLA Sturgeon has admitted forgetting to declare thousands of pounds worth of perks as part of her ITV night election gig.
The former First Minister said she had made an “error” over the July 4 polling job which saw her paid £25,000 for eight hours on television.
Sturgeon, who has come under fire for taking around £3000 an hour to talk about politics while still an elected politician, was late to register her £2800 hotel and £400 travel arrangements provided during the show.
According to parliamentary rules for MSPs they have 30 days after receiving the benefit or payment to register it with authorities.
A spokeswoman for the Glasgow Southside MSP said there had been a “misunderstanding” about the rules which caused the delay but insisted Sturgeon had still kept within the rules by registering the earnings as soon as she remembered she had to do so.
She said: “Due to an initial misunderstanding of the requirements in relation to the expenses for the appearance, these were registered slightly late but within the provisions of the Code of Conduct on late registrations.
“When Nicola realised the error herself, she took immediate steps to update the register.”
But opponents have criticised the former first minister for failing to comply with the rules on time.
Alba party general secretary Chris McEleny said: “It’s incredible how quickly Nicola Sturgeon seems to have forgotten that she has to abide by the rules of parliament but is it really a surprise given she appears to have forgotten about her job as an MSP?
“Nicola’s problem is that for years she threw people to the wolves in an attempt to look whiter than white and now it is coming back to haunt her.
“When Wendy Alexander was forced to resign she said she had been ‘the author of her own misfortune”. I’m afraid for Nicola Sturgeon she is now the author of her own misfortune.
“If she thinks others should resign for their mistakes then why doesn’t that same logic apply to her?”
When former Tory leader Ruth Davidson was paid £7500 to commentate throughout ITV’s general election coverage in 2019 the SNP called for her to resign.
Douglas Ross was also challenged to quit by the SNP when he was late to declare thousands of pounds in earnings as a football linesman.
Scottish Conservative MSP Annie Wells said: “This appears to be a breach of the rules by Nicola Sturgeon. Given she has sat in Parliament since it opened, she should have been aware of them.
“She should clearly apologise for this late declaration.
“Having received a huge sum for appearing on TV, the least she should have done is to have kept her house in order.”
Mrs (or maybe Miss now with the absence of sneaky Pete) forgetful again.
£2800 hotel? Where the **** was she staying and what did she order in?

The Glen Sannox has finally been handed over to Caledonian MacBrayne seven years to the day it was launched by Nicola Sturgeon.
The two vessels were supposed to be built for £97m under a contract handed to the Ferguson Marine yard in Port Glasgow in 2015 - but the total bill has soared to more than £400m.
Glen Sannox was supposed to be completed in 2018 but it will only take its first passengers in January 2025.
Sturgeon, the then first minister, was widely mocked after she officially launched the unfinished ferry in November 2018 before its windows were even installed.
The construction of the two ships was so botched it forced Ferguson Marine into administration in 2019, with the Scottish Government forced to nationalise the yard as a result.
Whoopee!

Scotland's former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is to stand down as an MSP, she has announced.
The ex-SNP leader confirmed she would not seek re-election at the Holyrood election in May next year.
In a statement published on social media, she said making the decision had been "far from easy".
She added: "However, I have known in my heart for a while that the time is right for me to embrace different opportunities in a new chapter of my life, and to allow you to select a new standard bearer."

'embrace different opportunities' = find another trough to feed from.
A thinly vieled she would rather get in to the muff than stick with what Sneaky pete is offering.

Just **** at the referendums.
Just **** at the referendums.
what referendums ? She wasn't in charge at referendums as far as I'm aware. I honestly had never heard of her and knew little about scottish independence referendum, but I watched it and the aftermath, when she spoke in defeat, both myself and wife said she is clever.
Doesn't matter now she is going to make millions post politics and most politicians are hungry cants for cash.
I heard she is a wee bitter rangers fan like AKA.
However she can support whoever she wants, but did she send away 5 tory leaders or just 4 ? I'd go 5 but could be wrong.

sorry if you are referring to brexit referendum scotland voted with significant majority to stay in EU, so what is you're point ?
She came in right after a referendum. Then said there would be another one next year every year. Pretty poor at her job. Fecked it up proper and left independence in a worse state than before she arrived.
Certainly not a clever one, regardless of what you and your wife may think.
Millions post politics? That went down the swanney a couple of years ago.

Bulgaria V Ireland game last night very poor, when you think back to early 90s the players both countries had, the Bulgarian Keeper had real bad night first half, I think he plays for Aberdeen. Maybe just a bad night for the lad. Hopefully for him and Aberdeen.

Looking forward to seeing how the MSM report this. Will it continue to draw a clear line between the SNP and Murrell, despite his 23-year tenure as the party’s CEO?
Basically, for over two decades he must have oversaw day-to-day operations, internal management, fundraising, financial administration and election strategy, including during the 2014 referendum and then the party’s period of dominance in Scottish politics. That is a notably long time for one individual to hold such a senior organisational role.
And then his wife, his wife, led the party politically from 2013 to 2014, most of that time as First Minister.
OK, their roles were formally separate, but surely the concentration of influence within one household for such a sustained period inevitably raises questions of perception.
It's also relevant that the SNP’s pro-EU, anti-Brexit stance aligned with much of the mainstream media and political establishment, and that Nicola Sturgeon herself was widely regarded as an effective and popular political figure in those circles. That broader context may influence how the situation is framed.
With the next court hearing scheduled after the Holyrood election, and given the likelihood of extended legal proceedings because it's a 'complex' financial case, the timeline itself may shape how the issue is viewed politically. If there are extended procedural stages for example, the process may stretch well beyond the immediate political cycle. Whether that ultimately benefits the party in terms of public perception remains to be seen. The SNP must be on their prayer mats hoping it goes on for years, so it can then be pitched as historical. Cue media commentary about lessons learned etc., how we moved on blah de blah de blah.

Not sure if you've been paying attention chief, but they're all crooks. The whole of politics needs emptying out like a fatberged sewer. I'm personally on the side of "stop paying your taxes and shopping at political donors' orgs till we get rid of the lot of them, re-write our laws and start again."

Unfortunately she is only here on a Saturday, and it was the 14th.
So Friday,I went to M+S at Birstall for one of them dinners at £25 quid,
very nice for the money, and made the mistake of going in TK Max.
Done another £150 in there, and made another blunder going to Krispy Kreme,
another £21 down. Dreadful day.

Is she and the Scottish government being sued by the estate of the late 1st Minister Of Scotland Mr Alex Salmond over a botched investigation into harassment and complaints made about him before he died? This was a political witch hunt to discredit which precipitated his downfall.
I think the main Party concerned is the SNP then headed by Ms Sturgeon.

SCOTLAND’S top prosecutor tipped off John Swinney about the exact amount Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband is accused of embezzling from the SNP — but hid the details from the public
Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC – who’s also a minister in Mr Swinney’s cabinet – gave the First Minister a 33-day head start on January 19 by telling him Peter Murrell had allegedly swindled £459,046.49 from the SNP.
The info was quickly passed on to Nats spin doctors — at the same time as the Crown Office, which Ms Bain heads, was keeping the public in the dark on the £459,046.49 embezzlement charge facing Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband.
The Lord Advocate, one of the two Scottish Government “law officers” in the Cabinet, sent her note to the SNP supremo on January 19.
But it wasn’t until February 13 that full details of the charges facing Mr Murrell were exclusively revealed by The Scottish Sun.
It get murkier and murkier.
Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC – who’s also a minister in Mr Swinney’s cabinet – gave the First Minister a 33-day head start on January 19 by telling him Peter Murrell had allegedly swindled £459,046.49 from the SNP.

Honest John now refusing to answer questions about it.
Is he going down. Will he drag Ms Sturgeon with him? It's incomprehensible Ms Sturgeon could be oblivious to an amount as monumental like that without even the slightest suspicion. Was there not a luxurious motorhome parked outside their drive?
Anyone know how put a halo on , Just thought I would post a Lovely picture for the Lads
I wonder who COT and Lushka are supporting these days
I would say short odds COT has moved to the Scottish Greens
I wouldn't be suprised if COT was in the greens these days.
He was another 'I'm not Scottish but I love the SNP/Sturgeon' nut.
