| 0:19.5 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots. I'm James Heel and I'm joined today by Katie Pools |
| 0:23.8 | and Fraser Nelson. Or Fraser, today we saw the latest installation |
| 0:28.0 | of the ongoing car crash that is the S&P scandal. Talk us through today's developments which |
| 0:33.8 | included Colin Beatie, the party's treasurer coming out and talking about he knew about the |
| 0:38.8 | mobile motorhome. Well, yeah, Colin Beatie has been the treasurer for a great many years. |

| 1:32.8 | Holyrood today where she was met by Scottish political reporters. And there were obviously |
| 1:38.8 | interested to know on her comments. You have to do double take, I think, unless you've been |
