SNP Billions: Charity Funding Fuels Loyalty, Investigation Finds
An investigation by The Times and The Sunday Times reveals the Scottish National Party (SNP) allegedly uses billions in funding to secure loyalty from charities, potentially silencing criticism. Examples include an academic forced out of a charity role and a sexual harassment campaign that vanished due to political embarrassment. The reliance of Scottish charities on government funding, far exceeding that in England and Wales, raises concerns about their independence.
