Via the BBC:

Holyrood’s standards watchdog has told Scottish Labour leader Wendy Alexander she needs to declare donations to her leadership campaign.

Labour said Dr Jim Dyer had advised Ms Alexander that gifts in excess of £520 needed to be declared at Holyrood.

All donations to her campaign were less than £1,000 which do not need published through the Electoral Commission.

However, the commission is currently investigating a £950 donation from a Jersey-based businessman.

Ms Alexander said parliament officials told her donations to her leadership campaign did not have to be recorded in her MSP register of interests.

I’m wondering if that is going to reveal anything about financial impropriety with Hamish the Greek:

My shaky hand is already reaching for a Highland Park, even this early in the day; I fear the worst. But until then, I’m here for you, Wendy; here to wipe away the tears and, if need be, caress you back to happiness again.

Alas for him, financial impropriety will be all he gets.
