SNP under investigation for misuse of public funds

Scottish Parliament officials are investigating allegations that SNP staff used taxpayer money for general election campaigning by sharing postage stamps meant for official MSP business. Leaked WhatsApp messages from an SNP group chat triggered a complaint to Holyrood's Presiding Officer over concerns of misuse. MSPs are allowed £5,500 annually for postage and stationery, strictly for parliamentary duties, not party political purposes. The SNP is under scrutiny for allegedly providing stamps to candidates for campaign activities, prompting a thorough investigation by parliamentary authorities.
