In a statement the Electoral Commission said that Better Together failed to supply invoices for £57,000, or 5% of its expenditure.
That's pretty damning for an organisation headed up by the former Chancellor of the Exchequer!
Or....on the other hand, maybe not.
I seem to remember that Alistair was a little muddled over money when he held that post, managing to claim expenses for a flat he let out...
And wasn't it he who managed to claim for four different houses in four years?
Indeed did the Telegraph not suggest that he had been accused of having his fingers in the till?
Oh, and didn't he hire an accountant at our expense to make sure he didn't overpay his taxes? The Chancellor of the Exchequer needed an accountant to make sure he didn't overpay his taxes. Pretty unbelievable?
In fact, did Nick Clegg not call for him to resign over his expenses? (You remember Nick Clegg don't you?)
And still they left Alistair in charge of the organisation and expected it to work out right?
I suppose it shouldn't be a huge surprise either that, when Women for Independence, an organisation on the YES side, lost some money (the £30,000 totally rubbished by Wings), it made the front page lead of the Record, but the loss of £57,000, as noted by the Electoral Commission, doesn't get a whisper...
It reminds me of the £10,000 that is went missing from an Edinburgh Labour constituency, which got a little coverage on inside pages, even though the constituency in question is that of the leader...
The Scottish Press peeps... what can we say?
