Scotland’s media reports Nicola Sturgeon cleared in SNP embezzlement case after almost two years under the spotlight. The media has reacted to the news – with the story dominating much of the Scottish newspapers and websites this morning. 

Sturgeon along with the SNP’s former treasurer have been cleared in the probe. But Sturgeon’s husband, with whom she is now separated, is in court facing charges of embezzlement. Peter Murrell had been the SNP’s chief executive since 1999 but resigned in March 2023 amid a row over party numbers.

The prime minister and his plans for British military deployment in Ukraine dominate several newspaper front pages this morning and still find space on the websites – though much has been pushed further down to cover the massive fire at Heathrow Airport and the ongoing travel chaos. 

The papers report the prime minister has stepped up plans for a 31-nation military force to provide security guarantees to Kyiv.

The prime minister is having a change of heart regarding putting boots on the ground in Ukraine and instead favours air and sea support.

The country’s defence secretary has warned Britain will not shy away from using nuclear weapons that could do ‘untold damage’ if UK troops are attacked.

You won’t be surprised to see that the tabloid media uses more biased headlines, whilst the broadsheets offer more factual and less emotive language in their headlines.
