The former first minister is to launch fresh proceedings over the conduct of the country's top civil servant.

Alex Salmond is to take fresh legal action over the conduct of the Scottish government's top civil servant.

That case forced the government to pay Mr Salmond's legal fees of more than £500,000 after its investigation into complaints by two female civil servants was found to have been unlawful. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she still has confidence in Ms Evans as permanent secretary, saying the government had "made a mistake in the course of trying to do the right thing".On Tuesday, a Holyrood inquiry concluded that the government's handling of the two harassment complaints against Mr Salmond in 2018 was "seriously flawed".

He said he had taken legal advice and would "shortly be instructing my lawyers to bring proceedings in the Court of Session arising as a direct result of the conduct of the permanent secretary".

BBCPolitics COULD YOU NOT LEGISLATE AGAINST BEING ASKED FOR A VACCINE PASSPORT ...FOR A PINT ONCE AGAIN DORIS YOU HAVE DODGED A DECISION CALL/EMAIL/WRITE YOUR MP ...OR BE A SLAVE! AND BOYCOTT THE BUSINESSES WHO WANT PROOF!

Salmond swimming upstream again

He should just piss off and give us all peace. We are all totally fed up with this horrible man.

Dirty frisp's

You won’t win the SNP leadership are above the law the government will pay for fairy tales to be written in their favour.

AlecSalmond is a nasty little man doing nasty things because he is angry his nasty actions have been exposed. Disgusting

BBCPolitics I wonder how much the Tories are paying him

Germany electric car and 60% US states marginal emissions = 550g CO2/kWh 550 x 0.2 kWh x km = 110g CO2. petrol car = 120g CO2. battery = +5tons CO2. another battery after 10-12 years: +5t CO2 does this really help to reduce CO2?

Alex Salmond is now part of the Tory Brexit Government as they share his misogynistic and political interests 🤷‍♀️

BBCPolitics Yes ! that would most appropriate thing to do Alex , Nicola Sturgeon needs to be taught lesson yet again. Cannot get out of it so easy.. good luck. !

Must be getting a big backhander

is he a double agent or just a typical TLLR aka Talk Left Live Right 🦠s 👀💭🤔🤷‍♂️😷

This ain’t best of three you know! 😬😬🙈🙈😷😷

BBCPolitics *Alex Salmond desperately tries to recover trashed credibility as the HamiltonReport news is yet to sink in...

The Donald of Scotland...

Oh... The... Political... Bias.

lol....Sponsored by The Tory Party no doubt

I have never liked this man!! He doesnt give a stuff about scotland or independence. He's trying to scupper it and get Nicola Sturgeon out. I wish he would get tae!!

Carti_Mandua I can't stand the man's politics but good luck to him.

🎭

👍👏👏👏😂🥂

Yawn. Censor the idiot . Jail him and throw away the key .

every time the man becomes news it must be galling for the accusers tbh must bring a lot of painful memories back aswell selfish man

Leslie Evans is Nicola's cladding. If she goes, Sturgeon is exposed brickwork. Evans did nothing without St Nicola's say so and full approval. A pack of cards ready to collapse.

Get in there Alex.. They tried to jail you..let the dogs off.

Good

BBCPolitics Can we assume BorisJohnson has offered him a Barony?

Or as I read it 'Man Who Claimed to Fight for Scottish Independence Shits Himself at Actual Prospect and of Being Found Out; Makes Further Attempts to Derail Prospect.' Salmond needs to just fuck off and let Nicola be to sort this.

He’s fewmin 🤬

Kkk crazy guy!

BBCPolitics 👍

BBCPolitics He has won two court cases so far which might suggest he knows what he is doing
