Super stuff, Guy. The Scottish-and UK- press have no "Tall Poppy" agenda here. She's "At it!"

Brilliant read! She certainly has a lot of chutzpah but unfortunately banks don’t exchange that for cash.

When I was a civil servant I had an occasional role of scrutinising nominations for honours. I was never trusted with the big stuff but I did on one occasion uncover enough unsavoury facts about a nominee for an OBE to encourage a rethink from a previously keen department. In fairness it was more often the case that I was finding additional evidence to merit an award for community volunteers, small scale entrepreneurs and minor public officials. The fact that due diligence was lacking when the subject had a high profile sadly does not surprise me.

Fantastic forensic work, Guy! This case feels like tip of the iceberg stuff. It’s slightly annoying that she could take a voluntary leave of absence ahead of of what feels like an escape plot. Instead they should suspender.

Bloody hell! How on Earth was this missed? Or perhaps I should ask why was it missed? Reminds me of the financial black box that was Enron.
