In the Ferret today, desperately trying to include the SNP in the above damning accusation, they manage to find one SNP MP (Richard Thomson) and one SNP MSP (Richard Lyle), two Dicks (?), who worked for Invicta Public Affairs, which lobbies politicians on behalf of their clients, but only after they lost their seats, and are unable to mention any actual donations or fees that might have benefited the SNP.

Including these two under the headline – Political parties took thousands from lobbying groups in Scotland. Campaigners say they are buying access to power – is clearly dishonest and as often before with the at least initially, Labour-funded Ferret, political.

The Ferret does report large amounts of money given to the Scottish Tories, Labour and Lib Dems.

Brian Wilson, Jackie Baillie, Murdo Fraser and Russell Findlay are there, to no one’s surprise.
