    Yep.

    So in the last two available years he was paid 77K and 109K. And then it's "disappeared" from the accounts.

    Either way...

    £136K of taxpayer money for her, and £77K SNP money for him = more than £200K a year and over a million pounds in the next parliament. If it's 109K for him then its around £250K a year.

    That's some income for alleged "socialists"....:cool:


    Who would you prefer in power Hamish, Phil and Krusty? They get paid a lot less than they used to I`d bet.

    I'm not sure the SNP claim to be socialists. But you carry on with your assumptions. I'll say again, whatever it is they are doing quite a lot of us like it.

    John Bercow ) against which Nicola Sturgeon's salary should be measured..

    Bercow is the Speaker of the House for the UK parliament.

    A position of far greater substance and importance than FM in a regional assembly.

    I think if you've paid any attention to my previous posts you should know the answer.

    Is this on to in England? I am reading the guardian updates, it sounds like Sturgeon is on the ropes.

    The problem is the canvas of Scottish politics is too small for her. When going up against the PM she is a Titan, an empress. When diddling the nitty gritty with Jim Murphy she is caught in the doldrums.

    Sturgeon for next Labour leader!

    I imagine you will be able to get it online, Jim Murphy is lying quite a bit tbh but he is rarely being pulled up on it, he is all smarmy and sadly i reckon a lot of people will fall for it.

    Ruth is doing not too bad, she got into it with Jim and i think some people woke up at the noise, Willie Rennie is really surplus to requirements tbh.

    I think Jim Murphy has managed to get under Nicola's skin, and Ruth's.

    Nicola really isnt doing good at all, it is as you say the others know the nitty gritty so her arguements are not standing up

    Heh heh...

    Nanny Sturgeon looking very uncomfortable at the expose of her personal income.

    Positively wilting under the pressure on a number of topics in fact. :)
