Whose business?

A business group is seeking to take legal action against the Scottish Government over its spending of public money on the case for independence.

Very good decision.

Laws Kanda Surely they are public servants not employed to work on a party agenda to forward its own ends. £20 million is a lot of money to spend on something that may not have a solid outcome, and people are needing so much help. It's not the right time.

Valerie Ratcliffe In Scotland our Parliament Democracy is failing to protect Scotland from the political interests of the SNP Establishment.

Delshad Rashid Of all the things a business could sue the government for. Seriously.

Tilly Lou About time they were investigated, even if it is just to ensure Scottish people that nothing is underhand, might change the mind of future voters.

Shelagh Cooper No monies for independence have come off S/G budget 2022/23? You do know it will not stand up in court as the electorate voted for the SNP on a manifesto and will be thrown out of any court as experts have said.

Ian Marshall So the business group is challenging money spent on legal case… by raising another legal case.

Gordon Fisher Stuff their independence there's more important things and vulnerable people to spend it on.

Allan Wilson Are the undemocratic Anglo British Nationalists really suggesting that an elected government cannot spend money on a policy which was a major part of the manifesto on which they were elected?

David Howie

If they have spent a penny of public money on this independence nonsense, then they should be prosecuted to the full force of the law. Independence is party politics. It is NOT government policy.

Alastair Browne Great news, about time someone took them on. This money should come out of party funds and not budgets that are under severe pressure already

Chick Macdonald Pro-union parties should be given equal sums of money to push their case for Remain. Fair’s fair.

Donald Macleod Keep our fingers crossed

they are successful – time Sturgeon was put in her place.

Raymond Mcgregor So can Scottish businessmen claim damages from England, Wales and NI for business lost to Brexit?

Alberto Sandri These incompetent, corrupt, useless parasites should be challenged on every last penny they have spent. I wonder what the cost of the legal bill was to challenge the government in the Supreme Court.

Ali Ross Can't the UK government just send in the auditors to check over its regional subsidiary?
