No further action should be taken because Mr Matheson has feelings and paid the money back when he was caught. So if anyone commits financial fraud it's only a crime if they're not caught. The level of stupidity in the the SNP is astonishing.
Sounds like classic SNP “whataboutery”. Deflection from basically criminal behaviour by pointing the finger of blame to other persons and criticising the process.
The man has a large black cloud hanging over him. One of his own making and should be held to account Namby pamby handling of this situation is an insult to the Scottish taxpayer.
They are all at if sturgeon and her fake husband can do it they all can and look at krankie the day she still has the same attitude I'm in charge here i.e if you let me finish the question tried to laugh it of at first and backed fired on her crooks the lot of them
Aye , Mcgregor, typical snp delinquent, thinks it is just fine for snp idiots to steal from the public purse and thinks that WE the public are losing our tempers over nothing, probably thinks it is none of the publics business knowing how much the snp steal and have stolen over the years. Is this what snp supporters agree with? Is this what Devolution means, ? just vote some armatures into office so that they can enrich themselves at OUR expense? If you agree to this idea of rule you urgently need mental health assistance.
Matheson had no "feelings" for the public tax payers when he committed an out and out fraud and claimed 11 grand he knew he wasnt entitled to claim ! no msp or member of the general public should have even a minutes thought towards him nor any sympathy, he has gotten off very lightly , he should be facing criminal proceedings for theft, fraud, proceedings for allowing a govt ipad to travel abroad while he's on hols, proceedings for allowing his kids access to a secured govt device, in short he should be facing ten year in the jail ! and the speaker is out of touch and playing the party defensive line.........THE PUBLIC SEE YOU ! not knowing you broke a law (and he did knowingly) is no excuse and hundreds are charged every year due to lack of their knowledge..............he knew full well what he was doing, he only paid it back once he was caught out !
As an aggrieved taxpayer of Scotland, I am utterly sickened by Michael Matheson’s fraudulent attempt to claim £11,000 to which he was not entitled. Had it not been for the Telegraph, the public would remain unaware of this blatant attempt by Michael Matheson MSP to dishonestly and deliberately defraud the public purse of Scotland. This incident demands more than just outrage; it necessitates action. I strongly urge that, following the typical protocol of private employers, all of his previous expense claims be thoroughly re-examined. The breathtaking arrogance displayed by Matheson in this instance strongly suggests a pattern of extravagant and illegitimate claims. The people of Scotland deserve better, and it’s imperative that any misuse of public funds be promptly and rigorously investigated.
Owen thompson , snp mp for midlothian claimed £ 296000 in expenses , plus £ 91000 salary !! yet he IGNORES constituents letters and E mails !!! HOW do they get away with such incompetence ?????
Trim the gravey train, direct rule back to westminster and get rid of the low grade ....£2 bus fare in Edinburgh, why dont we have this in the west, taxi's are cheaper than the bus. get you house in order before rubbing it in our faces, MSP's and councils reek of it all, £90,000 to retire early from GCC with a full pension, the gravey train must stop for these jumped up council employees
The SNP's opinion is that other parties are politically motivated blah, blah, blah. The bottom line which the SNP are trying to slither out of is that Matheson is a liar and attempted to mislead the public and Holyrood.
The thief Matheson has something on them all, they have most likely all stolen along the gravy train way and their arses will all be twitching like a rabbits noses with the fear of being found out.
In my area two SNP. Councillors were forced to resign .one because he beat up his wife ,the other because he was arrested for nicking pots and pans out of ASDA!😁
SNP must return £450m to EU for unused grant money from first 6 years of Sturgeons reign The Scottish government is to return 28 per cent of the European structural and investment funding it received in the past six years. The huge blow is apparently a result of failing to allocate the cash to tackling poverty and economic development before a deadline this month. The grim figures emerged as John Swinney launched the SNP's election campaign - with another poll showing the party is on track to lose a swathe of its MPs.
Disgraceful behaviour. Mr your party member he lied lied lied and falsely claimed money, this has nothing to do with his family. He should of told the truth but knowing lied no wonder we don’t trust MPS 😡😡😡
He looks like he lives in a sink council estate house which stinks inside and is full of clutter and rubbish everywhere .Also his garden in probably full of weeds and old bits of furniture .
“Friends, Scots, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come not to bury Michael Matheson but to praise him, for Michael is an honourable man. He was my friend, faithful and just to me…”
SNP didn't once use the conduct of the conservative party for political gane, all the SNP every does is use anything for political gane they need a distraction from their constant failures
The arrogance of the SNP knows no bounds … his ability to read is poor at best! In another environment Matheson could be facing proceedings in a criminal court. Can a shoplifter simply pay for the goods once caught! 🤷
I wouldn’t admit that, they sent the elderly back to their deaths during covid and they knew this would happen. You’re a disgrace accepting the lies, death and utter contempt for Scotland.
He paid it back because HE WAS CAUGHT!

As always the snp choose to ignore facts,and highlight fantasy,Fulton Macgregor should get his head out of Matheson's backside.
......along with Swinney, Yousless and others....
So it’s ok to defraud the public if you have a family?

Well voters of Coatbridge and Cryston this is your man, do you want him to continue to represent you come the next Scottish elections ??
I'm from Coatbridge ; nobody knows who he is ...
we need to vote these folk out.
Mathison should go and take this clown with him we’re sick of this corruption and backing dishonest Msp
Excellent reply 👍

If this is Mr Mcgregors honest opinion, he also needs to be fired because he is condoning theft and criminality.

My God he can hardly string a sentence together. Who is pulling his strings? He's a numpty.
total reading his pre written script by crayons
Come on Scotland we must get rid of the clown show that is the SNP, we're better than this, they are bringing the country down.
Again reading every word, written by, probably Mathieson or someone who can put two syllables together.
"Flawed process", from the SNP, a party who wants to introduce juryless trials
Good point Rob Addie
Utter mince. The suit says clown
Ordinary people at work would have been sacked,he also let his kids use a government device, what about national security?
Can't believe how awful the SNP are...

How can anyone thumbs up a report that's 44minutes long when it was only posted 3 minutes earlier.
They could have watched it elsewhere and commented here.
@@Bl6.4l unlikely why watch a 2nd time
There must be some sort of binding feature holding these Matheson supporters together, what could it be, I wonder ?.
Playdoh! Coz they’re a’ weans in a sandpit. The wee pretendy parliament strikes again!
The thief Matheson has something on them all, they have most likely all stolen along the gravy train way and their arses will all be twitching like a rabbits noses with the fear of being found out.
What a little ferret
More of a Futtrit
Matheson is my MSP and he's a bloody disgrace to the town! He needs to go!
Disgrace, lies, fraud, this is the usual rubbish from snp, bla bla bla
Oh dear the SNP don't like it
The calibre of these ⚓️ 's in the snp is mind blowing.

It's hard to know if she agrees or disagrees with what's being said in parliament the way her head wobbles around like a nodding dug 🐕

Fulton McGregor is CLUELESS. And not just about this.
He stole the money end of story , he should be in jail
He didn't steal it he paid it back get a life.
Disgraceful behaviour. Mr your party member he lied lied lied and falsely claimed money, this has nothing to do with his family. He should of told the truth but knowing lied no wonder we don’t trust MPS 😡😡😡
Matheson paid nothing back....he was given £13 K when leaving the cabinet so ipso facto we, the mugs, paid for his supposed watching football.!
What a clown
He looks like he lives in a sink council estate house which stinks inside and is full of clutter and rubbish everywhere .Also his garden in probably full of weeds and old bits of furniture .
So now, in scotland, you are only guilty if you do not get caught.
That will cut the budget for policing and courts significantly.
What a total banger

What drugs was he taking prior to his speech.
He's had a massive line of the SNP Party BS. They are the masters of bluff, bluster, deceit, denial, delusion, lies and narcissism.
Should have been charged by the police,for theft
This could yet happen.
Yea we need more liars and cheats,don't think so!
What parallel universe is Fulton MacGregor living on??
He’s just rabble on and on and on unbelievable
These are all very pertinent points from Craig, who wants another Matheson, What has Matheson got on the SNP? The world now wants to know.
Matheson is a thief
You need to get off the crack pipe if you think mathieson is worth his rations, hes clearly a crook....
OK Stephen get tore in dude.
Silver Fox says Matheson was watching corn on the ipad.
Is she ready for greeting
What does having a family mean? Does that mean being a crook is fine?Is it parliament or the Probation Service?
Unbiased???

I think there are plenty like Matheson in the snp filling their pockets at our expense.
There is no question of Matherisons, he has none
Crooks the lot off them
