SNP - Mobile Phone Malarkey

I got so fed up listening to all the spin, lies and dissembling nonsense about the SNP ministers and their mobile phones that I decided to submit a FoI request to Humza Yousaf and the Scottish Government.

Dear First Minister

FOISA Request

I would like to make the following request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

1) Please confirm whether the mobile phone which the former First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, used during Covid and replaced in December 2020 was purchased with public money?

2) Please confirm whether the additional running costs of this mobile phone (network sim card, insurance etc) were paid for with public money?

3) Please confirm whether the new replacement phone issued to the former First Minister's in December 2020 was purchased with public money?

4) Please confirm whether the additional running costs of this new replacement mobile phone (network sim card, insurance etc) were paid for with public money?

I look forward to hearing from you and would be grateful if you could respond to me by email at the following address - markirvine@compuserve.com

Kind regards



Mark Irvine

I'm due a response anytime now!

I'm afraid this doesn't make sense - nor does the claim about passing the phone on to a family member.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
