FERRY FIASCO: Vital missing document is FOUND confirming who approved Ferguson Marine contract

[@georgemorrison9280]

I have never , ever heard of a £97 million contract being given the go ahead by email . When you buy a car you get paperwork not an email .

[@martincosgrove5961]

Wondering if there has been any cash bungs ,or would the SNP prefer to call it expenses passed back and forth in the deal ,check bank accounts before the paper trail gets lost .

[@georgemorrison9280]

Precisely . Swinney could have told Parliament his ‘version of the truth’ months ago but he didn’t . Could this be a resigning matter or a sacking or demotion . Sturgeon will punish him in order to attempt to draw a line under the matter but we shouldn’t allow her to .
