Nicola Sturgeon at book festival awarded £300k from taxpayers after hiring her ex-aide

Ex-first minister Sturgeon is promoting her memoir at the Edinburgh International Book Festival which recently appointed her former top aide Liz Lloyd as a director. A book festival featuring Nicola Sturgeon received £300,000 of taxpayer's cash weeks after her ex-chief of staff was appointed as a director. The former first minister is among the headliners at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival with an event to launch her memoir, Frankly. ‌ It comes as her former top adviser, Liz Lloyd, was hired as a director of the literary event in May. ‌ Last week, John Swinney's government announced a 'one-off' £300,000 lifeline for the festival to continue its long-running schools programme. It comes after the book festival lost its chief sponsor Baillie Gifford last year following a campaign by eco activists over the firm's fossil fuel ties. Lothian Tory MSP Sue Webber said: 'Taxpayers will be asking questions about how the SNP suddenly found this money a matter of weeks after Nicola Sturgeon's most senior former adviser was appointed a director of the festival. 'While the book festival is ­ultimately crucial for ­Scotland's culture and ­ Edinburgh's economy, many will be thinking this is not a mere coincidence. The SNP was only scrambling to find this funding because Baillie Gifford was hounded out from its long-held sponsorship by climate activists. 'SNP ministers should come clean on how this funding was awarded and if there was any lobbying from former colleagues who were once at the heart of the nationalist government.' ‌ Lloyd worked for the Scottish Government for nearly a decade as ­Sturgeon's top aide, working closely with current FM Swinney who was then deputy FM. Lloyd was ­Sturgeon's chief of staff from 2014 until 2021 then a strategic adviser until the ex-FM quit in 2023, when Lloyd also left her post. The book festival said it would be 'spurious' and 'misleading' to suggest any link between Lloyd's appointment and the announcement of the cash, which it said had been planned for months. The event's ­government funding has more than doubled in the past year to a record £820,000. Announcing the £300,000 grant on Wednesday, SNP Business Minister Richard Lochhead said it would help schoolkids continue to access free literary events. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The book festival had previously warned its ability to deliver a successful event had been 'severely compromised' by the ending of its relationship with finance firm Baillie Gifford. The deal was cancelled after activists with the Fossil Free Books campaign targeted book festivals across Britain. ‌ The Scottish Government said: 'The Edinburgh International Book Festival is one the country's most significant cultural institutions. Its schools programme has been crucial in fostering literacy and cultural engagement among young people. 'Supported by the increase in funding for festivals announced in the 2025-26 Scottish Budget, this funding secures those benefits for young readers across Edinburgh, helping schools that might otherwise struggle with travel costs' Glasgow's Aye Write literary festival had to cancel last year's event after its bid for funding from government quango Creative Scotland was turned down. It is set to be revived.

Business Secretary meeting Lotus after reports of plans to scrap UK carmaking

The Business Secretary will hold talks with Lotus after the carmaker appeared to shelve plans to shut its UK operations. After reports that Chinese owner Geely was planning to stop manufacturing at the Hethel plant in Norfolk, putting 1,300 jobs at risk, Lotus issued a statement saying it had 'no plans' to close the factory. Jonathan Reynolds will speak to the company on Sunday, the PA news agency understands. The British sportscar brand has been majority-owned by Chinese multinational Geely since 2017. The Financial Times had reported it was considering shutting up shop in the UK and in favour of a new plant in the US. On Saturday, Lotus sought to assuage concerns with a statement that it remains 'committed' to the UK, which it called its largest commercial market in Europe and the 'heart' of the brand. 'Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory,' it said. 'We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market. 'We have invested significantly in R&D and operations in the UK, over the past six years. Lotus remains committed to the UK, and its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, as well as its proud British heritage.'

BBC Dragons' Den's Hilary Devey leaves no money in will despite £80m fortune

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Despite an estimated fortune of £80 million, Hilary Devey CBE reportedly left no cash in her will. The former star of BBC's Dragons' Den sadly passed away aged 65 in June 2022 whilst on holiday in Marrakesh, Morocco. The Bolton-born businesswoman had been fighting a long-term illness, and her death sparked touching tributes from ex-colleagues and fans alike. A year on from her passing, some intriguing details about her will have surfaced. Despite her considerable wealth, Hilary only left material possessions, including jewellery, to her loved ones. As per the Daily Mail, Hilary's 2021 will stated that her iconic diamond cross should go to her friend Audrey Mulligan, while her personal belongings were bequeathed to her son Mevlit Brewster-Ahmet and her publicist and solicitor, who served as trustees. This leaves the destiny of her estimated £80 million fortune somewhat enigmatic. Hilary's early years in the North West were worlds apart from her later triumphs. As a young girl, she saw bailiffs confiscating items from her family home after her father Arthur Brewster's central heating firm went bust, according to the Mirror, reports the Express. However, this hardship only stoked Hilary's drive, leading her to set up her own pallet business, financed by selling her house and car. Speaking about her motivation for success, Devey once said: "I didn't want my son to go without so I pushed myself hard to build a life for us. Fortunately, I was always good with numbers and I loved the cut and thrust of business." Her determination paid off handsomely. Throughout her life, she remained actively engaged in charity work, notably donating a penny for each pallet her firm, Pall-Ex, delivered as part of their 'Penny a Pallet' scheme. Acknowledged for her substantial input to the transport industry and her altruistic efforts, she was honoured in the 2013 Birthday Honours, receiving the title of Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).
