The Herald (Scotland) – FM’s election launch marred by police move on SNP fraud probe
The Scottish Herald’s leading story reports that police in Scotland have launched a formal investigation into potential criminality involving SNP fundraising. The force, which has been assessing a fraud allegation from a member of the public since late March, said it had escalated its work after consulting with prosecutors. The paper notes the situation has been a blow to John Swinney’s bid to kick off the SNP’s general election campaign.
Elsewhere, a large image of PM Rishi Sunak on the campaign trail is featured on the front page. The paper speculates on Nigel Farage suggesting the ‘Farage factor’ could spell disaster for Scottish Tories.
Away from politics, the front page reports on concerns over Glasgow City Council using partly trained teachers to address shortage concerns.
Last night’s Ivello awards in London also make the front page.
