THE SNP have responded to Scottish Tory accusations of “murky” finances after Peter Murrell – the party’s chief executive – loaned it more than £100,000.
The £107,620 loan from Murrell, who is married to party leader Nicola Sturgeon, was made on June 20, 2021, according to the Electoral Commission.
Two repayments – of £26,905 and £20,715 respectively – were made by the SNP in August and October of that year. That means there is exactly £60,000 left outstanding.
