I think he may have chosen impact which is why there may be a trust issue. We saw it with the Blair war and the COVID party stuff. Time to rid the country of seweragage all around.
The fraudster who Humza Useless shielded and described as a man of integrity and honesty. He must be permanently removed from parliament. We know the nasty party will deflect and protect him even more. Truly shameful.
We back our own fellow SNP criminal.Truly unbelievable that they still say he has been harshly treated.He’s a crook who has been caught out.Have a fully paid holiday then come back and get your salary and pension.He should be fired and removed from office and any future pension entitlements withdrawn.
I seem to recall a minister (Profumo) at Westminster who, when asked if he was having an affair, denied it by lying to Parliament. When the truth came to light, he was sacked. Matheson lied to Parliament and the public but looks like standards have slipped since then. He should fall on his sword.
Holyrood rules do not exist in the lives of we taxpayers. Liar, thief, and still holding his family partly accountable in his corruption. Despicable man and not fit for any public office. A judge’s final summing up in a murder trial would never drag on as long as this guy.
Time he did the right thing and resigned, nothing but a liar and a thief who got caught out after getting the taxpayers to stump up.What a disgrace that the 2 SNP stood up for him saying the penalty was harsh.Unbelievable
He isn't there to hear it? He should be there in person, the crook! - 27 days banned, 54 days without pay is atleast going in the right direction. The fool should have been using the hotel wifi, either free or perhaps only a few ££s a day, rather than running up an £11K bill on mobile data! He should be fired!
Easy to spend public money when the rest of the party are doing the same, that’s why they are supporting him birds of a feather flock together. All crooks together.
What do you need to do to get sacked with this mob.?😂Improper, nay dishonourable conduct is obviously no impediment to becoming a member of this troughocracy( thanks mercurius)
Anyone who moans about threats or insults or worse that MPs or MSPs allegedly often get ....need only know the details of Matheson's Ipad scandal to see WHY! I do not condone anyone threatening or insulting these "members".....but I can fully understand WHY!
Too little too late. We all like free stuff to a point butt the line is drawn when one cannot control their own family and/or tries to cover up for them. Disgusting behaviour that should have been sorted immediately.. Too late for that party along with others.
SNP should be called the Scottish Quilt Party with the amount of covering up they do. I’ll bet everyone in the SNP felt Sturgeon **** out talcum powder when using the toilet.
The Humza described him as a man of integrity. This is what Humza thinks is Integrity, that explains a lot about SNP activities. Mattheson signed it off.
MSPs are required to be “Open, honest and accountable”? John Swinney glosses over the detailed and devastating findings published by the committee, claiming that MM has suffered enough because he “lost his job” and paid back £11,000 - so no one is out of pocket. He hasn’t lost his job, as he’s still an MSP and he voluntarily resigned from the cabinet. The only disagreement in the committee was about the length of suspension - nine weeks recommended but SNP colleagues wanted less.
Absolutely a shambles, more money wasted on an inquiry, all these guys round the table getting paid by more of our tax payments, shameful and police Scotland must know a crime was committed,
I thought theft was a crime so why did he get away with this? And why were authorities not informed straight away so they could act on it ?.He breached section 7.3and 7.4 .He should have been sacked .If anyone put their hands in the till at their workplace and stole money ,they would be sacked .Dont see much difference !Stop making excuses for him and do the right thing ,the public deserve better .
All they have to do is get his computer and see what he’s so terrified of hiding… It’s definitely not football…and what a horrible coward blaming his children
The snp.. and there woke laws have crushed many a poor humorous soul… and free bus passes for the young team have youths traveling after school hours causing havoc on the buses.. where the msp,s who made the rule never see the chaos as they don,t use the buses at night, I see it every day on the public transport.. funny how the rail transport did,not give free travel
He must be booted out this guy lied through his back teeth so he must lose his job the impact on his family are all his own doing nobody else’s sack him now🤬🤬
He's a common thief and should have been arrested charged photographed and his DNA taken then prosecuted just like anybody else.i paid for that iPad and I want to know what's on it.its our iPad not his.
Any 'impact' on his family was a result of Matheson's actions and lies,he has been found guilty and should resign immediately.
I think he may have chosen impact which is why there may be a trust issue. We saw it with the Blair war and the COVID party stuff. Time to rid the country of seweragage all around.
But no pension 😱
Pretty sure Hitler could blame his family if required. Blair could also, and truss.
5 pages of blather to conclude that we all know, he's a con artist. Any normal person doing this sort of thing at work would be getting a P45.
The fraudster who Humza Useless shielded and described as a man of integrity and honesty. He must be permanently removed from parliament. We know the nasty party will deflect and protect him even more. Truly shameful.
As predicted, Swinney is backing the fraudster. Shameful.
Humza Useless said he was a 'man of honesty and integrity'. Yeh, right....!!!!
That's what SNP government do they're all crooks
In case you are not used to this long winded tripe “ He was a lying , thieving lowlife” , simple .
Nice crisp summary.
Mathison get out your not fit to run for Falkirk we don’t want you representing Scotland.
Mmm, you may have a point, but carefully what you post perhaps,😁
We back our own fellow SNP criminal.Truly unbelievable that they still say he has been harshly treated.He’s a crook who has been caught out.Have a fully paid holiday then come back and get your salary and pension.He should be fired and removed from office and any future pension entitlements withdrawn.
jaan - Correct. He needs SACKED and JAILED now!!
Spot On.
100% correct
I seem to recall a minister (Profumo) at Westminster who, when asked if he was having an affair, denied it by lying to Parliament. When the truth came to light, he was sacked.
Matheson lied to Parliament and the public but looks like standards have slipped since then. He should fall on his sword.
🤣🤣🤣 what a load of nonsense
Holyrood rules do not exist in the lives of we taxpayers. Liar, thief, and still holding his family partly accountable in his corruption. Despicable man and not fit for any public office. A judge’s final summing up in a murder trial would never drag on as long as this guy.
Remarkable cover up.Surely dismissal appropriate.
stewart - Definitely - Then jailtime - And disclose contents of websites visited....I bet it's not just football!
Time he did the right thing and resigned, nothing but a liar and a thief who got caught out after getting the taxpayers to stump up.What a disgrace that the 2 SNP stood up for him saying the penalty was harsh.Unbelievable
The Standards Committee are there for a reason but to ignore their findings is so hypocritical. Stop playing the victim you lying toad!
Mr Mathison tried to defraud the Scottish tax payers and he knew exactly what he was doing
In Scotland we need to introduce a recall petition for MSPs, then real punishment can be applied.
He was quite happy to let the taxpayer foot the bill -- till he was caught. But as the taxpayer pays his salary, it’s them that lose in the long run.
I wonder if he will still claim expenses while suspended i.e. enhanced heating allowance because of being home for longer periods?
He isn't there to hear it? He should be there in person, the crook! - 27 days banned, 54 days without pay is atleast going in the right direction. The fool should have been using the hotel wifi, either free or perhaps only a few ££s a day, rather than running up an £11K bill on mobile data! He should be fired!
Easy to spend public money when the rest of the party are doing the same, that’s why they are supporting him birds of a feather flock together. All crooks together.
Claim unsound?Pure lies.
You know when someone is described as being 'a man of integrity ' its always the complete opposite.
27 days on full pay That will teach him not to steal 11 thousand pounds 😂😂😂💩
Every day he was on full pay could be treated as the same.... and WE pay them for actions like this......
@jimmyduncan5304
Yeah laughing all the way at the tax payer
What do you need to do to get sacked with this mob.?😂Improper, nay dishonourable conduct is obviously no impediment to becoming a member of this troughocracy( thanks mercurius)
Further, any decent person would of fell on his sword, but not this weasel
stephen - He not only needs sacked - He needs jailtime too. He's a crooked fraudster
Wonder what he was really watching the snp stinks through and through
I was thinking the same thing. Too convenient to blame his kids for watching football. Hmm
He lied & got caught. How many more get away with this kind of thievery?
Anyone who moans about threats or insults or worse that MPs or MSPs allegedly often get ....need only know the details of Matheson's Ipad scandal to see WHY!
I do not condone anyone threatening or insulting these "members".....but I can fully understand WHY!
They are above the law. Anyone else in a normal job would have been fired. Disgraceful.
He stole, then cheated, then lied.
SO ANOTHER BY ELECTION THEN JUST LIKE FERRIER ?
That iPad needs to go to the police
This is why the SNP need gone
It seems the level of integrity is consistent among the SNP. I look forward to judgement day
Have 27 days off pm full pay paid for by taxpayers have another
Holiday in morrovo but make sure you leave your iPad at home
Too little too late.
We all like free stuff to a point butt the line is drawn when one cannot control their own family and/or tries to cover up for them. Disgusting behaviour that should have been sorted immediately.. Too late for that party along with others.
He should be sacked immediately. He is anything but "an honorable gentleman" and should never again be referred to as such.
THE GOOD PEOPLE OF FALKIRK WILL VOTE HIM OUT AS SOON AS THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY.
It was he who brought up his family as the true thieves and now he wants sympathy. He either resigns or is sacked. The defence rests.
SNP should be called the Scottish Quilt Party with the amount of covering up they do. I’ll bet everyone in the SNP felt Sturgeon **** out talcum powder when using the toilet.
It’s a great pity that the person with the cough couldn’t leave the room until such time they were able to go back in.
He should be sacked and prosecuted.
Sack him and jail him
What must have been one hell of a football match. 🤔
Michael " Harry Houdini " Matheson...Now get out of that.
Knob should be in jail
The Humza described him as a man of integrity. This is what Humza thinks is Integrity, that explains a lot about SNP activities. Mattheson signed it off.
Another SNP shambles
MSPs are required to be “Open, honest and accountable”? John Swinney glosses over the detailed and devastating findings published by the committee, claiming that MM has suffered enough because he “lost his job” and paid back £11,000 - so no one is out of pocket.

Absolutely a shambles, more money wasted on an inquiry, all these guys round the table getting paid by more of our tax payments, shameful and police Scotland must know a crime was committed,
Waste of time and money, in any other world clear case of sacking with criminal charges being sought. But oh no, lets have another snp cover up.
All this to say he tried to steal our money just say instead of all this rubbish sack and jail him
I thought theft was a crime so why did he get away with this? And why were authorities not informed straight away so they could act on it ?.He breached section 7.3and 7.4 .He should have been sacked .If anyone put their hands in the till at their workplace and stole money ,they would be sacked .Dont see much difference !Stop making excuses for him and do the right thing ,the public deserve better .
Nasty lot
for every 1 expense claim submitted for fraudulent claims 10 are rubber stamped and paid from the public purse.
All they have to do is get his computer and see what he’s so terrified of hiding…
It’s definitely not football…and what a horrible coward blaming his children
A thief is a thief ' simples'🤷
With Pay???... LOL
Who sanctioned the claim
Why isn’t he prosecuted by the police/PF for fraud? Public money shouldn’t be stolen by anyone, especially an MP.
Bet the football matches weren’t only hot spots viewed , udder nudge , say no more .
The snp.. and there woke laws have crushed many a poor humorous soul… and free bus passes for the young team have youths traveling after school hours causing havoc on the buses.. where the msp,s who made the rule never see the chaos as they don,t use the buses at night, I see it every day on the public transport.. funny how the rail transport did,not give free travel
2 Msps for exclusion 2 against and one chairmen vote for , a majority of one what a farce a case of `there but for the grace of the gods go I`.
Matheson has been exposed as a thief and a liar
So basically he is a liar and cheated and stole money. If it was your average punter they would be in Jail. When will this idiot be put in jail.
SNP. 😂
He must be booted out this guy lied through his back teeth so he must lose his job the impact on his family are all his own doing nobody else’s sack him now🤬🤬
He's a common thief and should have been arrested charged photographed and his DNA taken then prosecuted just like anybody else.i paid for that iPad and I want to know what's on it.its our iPad not his.
