First Minister & Deputy 'contradictory timelines' breach ministerial code over Covid Inquiry info
Back in November Douglas Ross led a debate for an independent investigation into the First Minister and Deputy First Minister as they should refer themselves to the independent adviser for a breach of the Scottish Ministerial Code.
This comes after Humza Yousaf admitted the Scottish Government had interpreted requests from the inquiry for WhatsApp messages sent during the pandemic “too narrowly”.
However Scotland’s First Minister rejected claims from opponents that he had deliberately misled Holyrood about the timeline of his Government’s dealings with the inquiry.
And now it has come to light that the Scottish Information Commissioner is looking into the SNP's use and retention of informal communications, in light of the United Kingdom Covid-19 Inquiry.
Here Jackie Bailie's blasts the SNP 's pattern of behaviour' to withhold evidence and information when requested.

It's about time the SNP were dissolved altogether, they have single handedly brought Scotland to its knees with their woeful mismanagement, lies, deceit and, when it eventually comes to light, mishandling of funds for their own personl benefit.
What an incredible woman Jackie Baillie is and everyone in Scotland should be proud and applaud her open, honest assessment of the cesspit full of lying vipers the SNP has become! I know absolutely nothing about her but why oh why isn't this amazing politician given move coverage and perhaps even considered for first ministers position instead of those resent scumbags occupying that position ? Jackie, I applaud everything you so elegantly believe & stated, politics so badly needs such people and such voices both north AND south of the border - WELL DONE !!!
SNP and grubby greens ,out ASAP ,before they totally destroy scotland

Although i stand opposite to this ladys politics, i think she is one of the better Labour speakers. Indeed,she is undoubtedly their best speaker in Scotland for Labour and is always worth listening to.

We all know that Westminster has it's own problems. But let's concentrate on what the SNP has been doing to Scotland . Which is what this video is about. When Westminster is rightly being criticised you don't hear the English sayin well what about Scotland? When these things have in the main precious little to do with Scotland.

What you have to realize is no politician ever gets prosecuted never , it's a closed shop always has been ..
Its called lying in parliment which is illegal.
Why is it taking so long to bring charges. If they walk away from this without being jailed for their actions there will be a serious revolt of the system and authority, not fit for purpose.
Oh what a surprise
They have been from they took over the golden liar party
Has the person who did the interior decorating of the Scottish Parliament been brought up on charges yet?

Excellent. But why is Westminster not investigating these issues? Why is Humza now giving Scottish money to Hamas (via a third party). Why has Humza now gone to Qatar on a ‘family?’ Holiday where Hamas leaders and Palestinians groups are currently residing? This SNP crime organisation must be disbanded, it is, and has brought Scotland into a worldwide embarrassment. Westminster, over to you.
All the right questions but where are any answers?
Nice to see a big turn out to discuss such an important topic. 😏
It's appalling how any slimy individual actually thinks that they could make any difference, i quote Billy Connolly; "the very want to be a politician should ban you for life for ever being one", Scotland, you sold yourself out, I'm glad i left when i was 17

Sadly I think you are probably right he will be dreaming up more make believe grievances to help stir up his fellow nut jobs.
