Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

Well, that's right.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

And she said at the time that the two events weren't related.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

There was a lot of skepticism about that, but that was her position.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

But I was really fascinated as well when she was talking about when she first confronted him.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

And had she ever confronted him?

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

Had he ever given her an explanation?

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

And the first thing she remembers doing and confronting him is when the motorhome was reported, this notorious motorhome worth more than 100 grand that was parked in her mother-in-law's drive.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

Although she explained really for the first time in detail that actually it was parked...

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

slightly round the corner, so she didn't notice it.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

People will make their own judgment when they watch the interview in full or when they listen to it or when they watch the clips.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

But the motorhome has taken on, I think, the same sort of status as, you know, Boris Johnson's wallpaper, hasn't it?

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

You know, the motorhome, subject of memes, subject of people sort of poking fun at it.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

But this isn't funny.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

You know, this was hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

And there's an unresolved question, too, about whether or not, not in this case, but whether or not Peter Murrell was using taxpayers' money, too, as part of his spending.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

We don't really know about that, but there are questions being asked about taxpayers' money because, fun fact, political parties are given a certain amount of money, short money as it's known.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

dependent on how big they are, theoretically, because political parties should have some cash for the public good so they can exist and work on policy and, you know, help the sort of democratic system.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

But if there is to be a Westminster inquiry or a Scottish Parliament inquiry, that I think would be one of the areas that they will go after.

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

get it done in Holyrood and have more control over who appears and what happens we will see but I think either way I think there is probably going to be some form of inquiry whether it's in the Scottish Parliament or in the Houses of Parliament in Westminster or maybe even in both who knows all sorts of fun

Newscast
Nicola Sturgeon Interview: The Analysis

I think that's really interesting, yeah.
