The former leader of the SNPs/first ministers husband has just been arrested for (I think) fraud. That’s a huge story.
I think there’s an issue that any group of people who are in power for a long time seem to end up losing sight of what got them there in the first place. Standards slip, things get overlooked as people get tired and run out of fresh ideas.
Sadly, inevitable
Being in power for too long can well lead to “losing sight of what got them there in the first place. Standards slip, things get overlooked as people get tired and run out of fresh ideas”, that’s completely understandable but that’s very different to fraud or theft.
