The rules in the Scottish Parliament were changed so nobody can be both an MSP, and an MP.

Was it changed around the time when Gordon Brown was PM or just after?

Neither.

Even with their combined incomes at the time, the Financing of the Jag & Motorhome might have been questioned by any sensible wife but the £2500 Lalique Salt & Pepper Grinders would have brought the cattle prod & thumbscrews out in any other household.

Other things you can buy with almost half a million in stolen cash? The silence of your "wife".

^^ Meanwhile Michelle Mone gets away with £120,000,000 because (reads notes) she is a unionist and not an SNP supporter...

This is the thing that bothers me. It is the complete disproportionate response. Yes what Peter Murrell did was criminally wrong, but, it is chicken feed and small fry in the grand scheme of things.

NCA has a live investigation ongoing into Mone & her husband so they haven't actually got away with anything yet.

There's a limit to what can be reported as long as the criminal investigation into Mone is live.
Murrell is done and dusted, so everyone can have a field day
