I love a bit of shoegaze and I just found this cover by Ringo Deathstarr which I hadn't heard before.

Sorry yes that's true - what I should have said was 'formally interview' various SNP types, including her and her husband (he of the 107k 'loan' she apparently knew nothing about). Type in haste repent even more hastily

Police Scotland are due to investigate the missing fundraising 600k in the SNP's accounts. Jump before you are pushed.

I wonder if one of the national papers had a wee story they were going to run if she didn't step down. Plenty of rumours over the years so I wouldn't be surprised.
