Nicola Sturgeon under pressure over vetting procedure

**BetterTogether** · 30-Sep-15, 11:08

With the recent furore over Michelle Thomson and allegations of Mortgage Fraud along with serious questions raised over the moral of her business ethics along with Hyslop under pressure.

Nicola Sturgeon is today under pressure over SNP candidate vetting procedures. We have recently seen a number of proposed candidates unceremoniously standing to one side when issue have been raised by journalists, now the mire has reached up and grasped the First Minister as she struggles to explain how such a Senior Member who was widely supported can have had such serious allegations overlooked or ignored.

Michelle Thomsons solicitor first came under suspicion in 2011 and was finally struck off in 2014 all this time it has been the business deals he conducted for a company she is a part owner in that have been under scrutiny. For the SNP to have failed to take any of this into account shows lack of scrutiny in their vetting procedure and leads directly to the door of the First Minister.
