Nicola Sturgeon faces call to reveal if she knew her husband was about to be arrested before quitting as First Minister - as dramatic footage shows police tent and cordon outside their modest home in Glasgow cul-de-sac
There was a heavy police presence outside the modest Glasgow home Ms Sturgeon shares with Peter Murrell, 58, this morning, including police vans and a forensics tent. Officers were also at the SNP's headquarters in Edinburgh following the arrest, which comes just a week after Ms Sturgeon was replaced by Humza Yousaf. Her decision to quit last month took Scottish politics by surprise, with the SNP ahead in the polls. Weeks earlier she had used an interview to say she had 'plenty in the tank. The party is subject to an investigation into whether £600,000 earmarked for independence campaigning was diverted elsewhere in 2021. Ms Sturgeon faced questions in the weeks before she stepped down over a £107,000 loan from her husband to the SNP, of which he was chief executive during her time in office. Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: 'We need Humza Yousaf and Nicola Sturgeon to urgently state what they knew and when.'

Question is who tipped her off?

According to most (sensible) news sources, the Auditors resigned BEFORE Mr Murrell was arrested.
That's a lot different to....
