    The car expenses alone on that trip were 8 grand.

    Mind you it's tiny compared to Alex Salmond's legendary trips to the US. 500k so he could watch the golf..

    3 out of 4 articles are over 10 years old. What was your point caller ?

    After 100s of years of Westminster rule, Scotland was a bit tulip ?

    What are you going to do with all that oil when the EU bans petrol and diesel vehicles?

    Of course, they may consider the Scottish economy to be too risky for them to be allowed into the EU anyway. Problem solved.

    Maybe someone should track the air miles used for all those climate change conferences.

    If she does another referendum and she loses which is almost certain her 150k salary will go, her husband will lose his more than 100K salary as SNP chief exec. The family income will go from 250k to 62k which is the salary for a MSP.

    There is absolutely no way this woman will ever agitate for another referendum. Never.
    Wrong again and where to start? I know - lets start with Bianca Jagger who came to Edinburgh to speak to Nicola Sturgeon and they did not meet in Argentina:

    Bianca Jagger welcomes Sturgeon's human rights taskforce | The National

    Nicola's visit's abroad are not needless. They are laying the groundwork for Independent Scotland's place in the world.

    Nicola doesn't take the full £155,680 salary she is entitled to.

    The first minister's salary entitlement will rise to £155,680, but all Scottish government ministers will again choose to freeze their pay at 2008-09 rates.

    The additional money provided by the pay freeze - which will continue until at least 2021 - is made available for public spending.


    Pay rise takes MSP salary to more than GBP63,000 - BBC News

    If Nicola is no longer First Minister, her husband will still be Chief Exec of the SNP. It's not a tied job !!
