Return of 'Morocco Mike' Matheson
Michael Matheson with another opportunity to speak to reporters at parliament after his return from a ban over his iPad bill. Again, he refuses to make any apology for his actions. https://t.co/O4Axo3O1vM pic.twitter.com/WfcBV2ItTO

Chris Musson explains that Mike Matheson, the SNP MSP suspended over his expenses claims, has returned to the Scottish Parliament after missing just 16 days rather than 5 weeks - thus confirming the whole affair has been a farce.
NOT A JOKE: Holyrood sits 3 days a week, but it turns out that for the purposes of measuring MSP suspensions, parliament claims it sits 5 days a week.

Michael Matheson is back today after 27 'sitting days' suspension over his expenses scandal. In reality, he's missed 16 days.
