## Resource

Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband Peter Murrell, the former chief executive of the Scottish National Party, has admitted to embezzling over £400k of party funds in order to fund his “lavish lifestyle” - using the money to buy everything from luxury watches and fountain pens to a motorhome. Camilla and Tim speak to the deputy leader of Scottish Labour, Jackie Baillie MSP, who says both Sturgeon herself and the SNP leader and Scotland’s first minister John Swinney have questions to answer about what they knew at the time. Elsewhere, with Restore deciding to field a candidate in the Makerfield by-election and sexist tweets posted by Reform’s candidate Robert Kenton coming to light, are Nigel Farage’s chances of beating Andy Burnham slipping away? Producers: Emma Williams and Georgia Coan Senior Producer: John Cadigan Executive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Video Producer: Will Walters Studio Operator: Meghan Searle Editor: Camilla Tominey Highlights What did Nicola Sturgeon know and not know about Murrell's spending habits? Will Restore end up splitting the vote on the right in Makerfield? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
