Murrell, the estranged husband of former first minister Nicola Sturgeon, pleaded guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh on Monday. Between August 2010 and October 2022, he used the funds to buy items including luxury goods and a motorhome, and towards the purchase of two cars. A top police officer said Murrell, 61, diverted the cash from the SNP to "bankroll the lavish lifestyle he craved but could not afford". In an Instagram story, Ms Sturgeon posted: "My reaction to the guilty plea tendered today by my former husband is difficult to put into words. "I am angry, hurt, sad and very distressed about the impact of his actions on family, friends and the SNP. "To be deceived and let down by a husband I loved and trusted has caused me acute pain. Why he acted as he did is, and always will be, beyond my comprehension. "To be clear: I had no knowledge or suspicion whatsoever that he was using SNP funds for personal purposes. "I am utterly appalled that he did so and cannot begin to understand why. That I was fully cleared after a thorough investigation underlines that these are not my crimes. I was misled just as others were. "I know that there will be political discussion in light of what has happened, and I understand why. "However, for me this has also been a profound personal trauma. I need to remain focused on recovering from that and building a new phase of life. I will be making no further comment." Murrell was first arrested in April 2023 as part of Operation Branchform - a Police Scotland probe into the funding and finances of the SNP - and was charged with embezzlement one year later. Judge Lord Young told the once political party kingpin: "You have pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzlement over a period of 12 years. "You embezzled just over £400,000 from the Scottish National Party. "As the chief executive officer of that organisation throughout that period your actions constitute a gross breach of trust." Murrell was handcuffed in the dock and remanded in custody ahead of his sentencing on 23 June. He originally faced an embezzlement charge amounting to £459,046.49, but pleaded guilty to an amended indictment. A full narrative of the facts will be heard in court when the case calls again on 2 June. Following Monday's hearing, the court published 125 pages of documents detailing the charge against Murrell. It included using £16,489 of SNP money in 2016 in part payment for a £32,989 Volkswagen Golf. He then used £57,500 of party funds towards the purchase of an £81,277 Jaguar I-PACE car in 2019. Murrell then falsified an invoice "in an attempt to disguise the true nature of said purchase", and when the motor was sold in 2021 to We Buy Any Car, £47,378.76 was paid into his personal bank account. In 2020, he then used £124,550 of SNP funds to buy a Niesmann and Bischoff Smove 7.4E motorhome for his "own personal use". The indictment also includes dozens of retailers where Murrell made purchases totalling £139,971. These purchases were made using credit cards or charge cards belonging to the SNP, with "false or inaccurate accounting codes and descriptions" for the items inserted into the party's accounting system. Goods purchased over the years included a PlayStation 3 for £247.42; games for multiple different consoles including Grand Theft Auto V (£42.99), The Sims 3: Pets (£31.82) and Battlefield 4 (£34.69); and two Bremont watches amounting to £9,350.25. Murrell, who had been SNP chief executive for more than 20 years, resigned in March 2023 amid a row over party membership numbers. Ms Sturgeon and ex-party treasurer MSP Colin Beattie were also arrested as part of Operation Branchform, but both were later cleared of any wrongdoing by Police Scotland. Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston, who had oversight of Operation Branchform, said: "This was a lengthy and extremely complex case due to the scale of criminality over a 12-year period and the lengths Peter Murrell went to try and cover his tracks. "I commend the professionalism and absolute dedication of the Operation Branchform team who spent more than four years carrying out extensive enquiries across Europe to unpick Murrell's offending." ACC Houston said the investigative work, in close partnership with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS), was carried out "under the most intense public scrutiny". He added: "This is without doubt one of the most high-profile investigations in recent times and it is testimony to the work of Police Scotland officers and staff that has led to Peter Murrell's admission of guilt early in the court process. "I would also like to thank the many witnesses who came forward to provide us with statements as we built the case against Peter Murrell. Their engagement with us was vital. "Peter Murrell has shown utter contempt for the high public trust placed in him as the chief executive of a political party and his position in the wider political establishment in Scotland for many years. "He abused his privileged position with access to Scottish National Party funds to divert cash into his own accounts and bankroll the lavish lifestyle he craved but could not afford. "From 2010 to 2022 he spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on luxury goods while carefully trying to hide his criminality with false receipts and accounting. "He must now face the consequences of his actions." In January 2025, Ms Sturgeon announced she had split from Murrell. The pair, who first met via the SNP in 1988 and became a couple in 2003, married in 2010. Ms Sturgeon announced the separation in a post on Instagram, revealing they had been "separated for some time now" but "still care deeply for each other, and always will".

Rudi Douglas, a 39-year-old musician from Ireland, had been booked to play piano at the event before being asked to sing and eventually being joined by the pop star. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Douglas explained how he had been booked for the Monday event three or four weeks ago but wasn't told until last week what the occasion was. "I was just stunned, I was like 'Please let this happen'," he says. Originally booked just to play piano, Mr Douglas was asked to sing a few songs after Netflix staff heard him singing while warming up. He was in the middle of playing a few songs to draw people into the room when the pop star surprised him. The pair later sang five songs together, including All The Lovers and Spinning Around. It was a dream come true for the musician, who won tickets to see the star in 2018 after being in her top 0.1% of listeners on Spotify. At one point, Mr Douglas even had to remind his idol of the words.

The two didn't speak after the event, but Mr Douglas has no regrets. "We had a big hug and then she disappeared, and I think it was actually perfect like that… there's no other way I could show her how much I love her and her music than just playing it on the piano and singing it to her." The star spoke to Sky's Debbie Ridgard at the event about the struggles she's faced in her career ahead of the release of the Netflix documentary, Kylie, which looks back on her life.

Antonelli becomes the first driver in F1 history to claim his first four wins consecutively and extends his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 43 points. But the two Mercedes almost came to blows during an incredible fight for the lead that lasted 31 laps until Russell's retirement, as Antonelli and Russell traded positions on several occasions at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Antonelli was inches from running into the back of Russell early on and the pair later made minor contact, but they avoided any damage in one of the most exciting lead battles in recent F1 memory. "We are in for a bit of a classic season as there is nothing between Russell and Antonelli," said Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle. Lewis Hamilton overtook Max Verstappen late on to take his best result for Ferrari in second on a strong weekend for the seven-time world champion. But, Verstappen will be satisfied with his first podium of 2026 after making up ground in the opening stint in cold conditions which challenged the drivers. Charles Leclerc was fourth despite a late half-spin with Ferrari moving ahead of McLaren into second in the Constructors' Championship. Neither McLaren driver scored points as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri gambled by starting on the intermediates, which proved to be the incorrect strategy. Norris later retired due to a suspected gearbox failure when coming through the field, while Piastri had contact with Williams' Alex Albon and was hit with a 10-second time penalty Isack Hadjar held onto fifth despite two penalties for weaving as he tried to defend from Leclerc and for speeding under yellow flag conditions. Alpine's Franco Colapinto continued his strong form with a career-best sixth, with Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson fending off Pierre Gasly to take seventh. Williams' Carlos Sainz finished ninth for the third time this season and Haas' Oliver Bearman was 10th. Two extra formation laps took place before the race due to Britain's Arvid Lindblad suffering an issue which meant he could not take the start. Epic Russell-Antonelli battle ended early Russell had been delivering under pressure on a big weekend for the British driver after taking top spot in Sprint Qualifying, the Sprint and Qualifying. However, there was very little to separate the Mercedes duo on pure pace, as Antonelli showed in the Sprint when he lost out to Russell after they made minor contact. Antonelli was unhappy with Russell's defence on Saturday and the aggressive racing continued into the Grand Prix itself almost from the off. This time it was Antonelli defending from Russell initially as he got the better start - although both Mercedes were overtaken down to Turn 1 by Norris, although the McLaren driver pitted at the end of the second lap as his intermediates quickly overheated. Russell overtook Antonelli on Lap 6 going into the final chicane but the Italian nearly ran into the back of his team-mate in what would have been a race-ending collision for both drivers. Both drivers made minor mistakes at the Turn 10 hairpin in gusty conditions but remained close, before Antonelli took the lead again on Lap 22. But, two laps later, the pair brushed wheels at the final chicane with Antonelli cutting the corner and was told to give up the position, which he did later in the lap. Unfortunately, the drama came to an end on Lap 31 when Russell grounded to a halt due to a power unit failure. He was visibly furious as he threw his head rest out of the car, knowing it could be a significant moment in the title race. "Everything just turned off all of a sudden. I went into the corner, the engine stopped, no electronics, no proper braking. A bit lost for words to be honest right now," Russell told Sky Sports F1. "From my side, I don't feel like there was anything more I could have done this weekend. I will leave satisfied. Of course I'm pretty damn frustrated with what happened. What more can I do?" Russell's stoppage caused a Virtual Safety Car, so most drivers took that opportunity to make their only pit stop of the race. Antonelli went on to dominate the Grand Prix but Verstappen and Hamilton were pushing hard for second. Hamilton slowly closed down a seven-second deficit to Verstappen but it looked like a lack of power from the Ferrari engine would make it too difficult for him to overtake his rival. Hamilton went for it with six laps to go with a decisive move around the outside into Turn 1 and fended off Verstappen, who crossed the line only half a second behind. "A good day of racing and a really solid weekend. I have felt on the up and the team have done a really amazing job," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1. "For us to be up there battling, and also go have a good battle with Max, I am really grateful. And so happy." Next up is the start of Formula 1's European summer swing, with the Monaco Grand Prix the first of six races in eight weeks. Watch live on Sky Sports F1 from June 5-7.

The industry brought £8.8bn to the British economy last year; it generates twice as much revenue as film and TV; it employs 73,000 workers around the country. They're big numbers and they're often rolled out because to a lot of people, gaming can still feel niche; the domain of teenage boys in fusty bedrooms. Sure, it inspires devotees; we watched this weekend as tens of thousands of elaborately costumed fans poured into MCM Comic Con in London. But that's not the whole story; the majority of adults (65%) now play video games. (If you're thinking, 'Not me or my friends' - phone games like Candy Crush and Farmville are video games.) Those working on our games argue there's a huge cultural value to British gaming too. "I always think of the money, but the cultural impact of games is phenomenal," said Harvey Elliott, founder of games publisher Playstack and board member of Ukie, the industry's trade body. "We know that this generation of kids is growing up with gaming as their main entertainment platform." Another publisher, James Schall of Secret Mode games, believes video games are becoming a way of showing off British culture to the world. Four of the companies' games, based in glamorous locations like Scarborough and a Scottish oil rig in the '70s, have had a surprising amount of international success. "You may think some of these games are only for British audiences but actually audiences in America, in Germany, in China adore these stories," said Mr Schall. "The output is so strong, not just financially, but also culturally in selling Great Britain as a destination and as a brand," he said. But change is coming, and difficult decisions are on the horizon. "The video games market, in terms of console and PC, reached maturity," said George E Osborn, author of Power Play: Video Games, Politics and the Battle for Global Influence. "That means growth is tailing off here, but it's continuing to grow the industry at large in places like China." Naturally, that means money and talent is heading east to where the growth is; China has overtaken the US in terms of dominance in video games, its market is worth more than $50bn. With all that change afoot, the people who make our video games here in the UK are having to reassess. "You're having to change a lot of fundamentals about how you do business, who you trade with, and whether you have to make some difficult decisions like 'Do I want to do things like censor my video game to get access to the Chinese market?'," said Mr Osborn. "These are big, complicated decisions."

Chalmers, who was 90, died on Thursday evening. Her family said she had become seriously ill in recent weeks. In a statement to Sky News, they said she died peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, after living with Alzheimer's in her final years. Chalmers' family said: "After living an extraordinary life that involved over 60 years in broadcasting and countless adventures all over the globe, Judy sadly passed away last night, surrounded by the family she loved so much after suffering with Alzheimer's for some years. "We will miss her greatly but she leaves behind a giant suitcase of the happiest of memories." Fans paid tribute on social media, with one calling her "a national treasure". Chalmers, who was born in Gatley, Cheshire, started working for the BBC when she was just 13. In the 1960s, she presented two BBC radio programmes, Family Favourites and Woman's Hour. She also presented the BBC's Come Dancing from 1961 to 1965. In 1974, Chalmers started presenting ITV's travel programme Wish You Were Here...? - a gig she kept until 2003. In the 1980s, she was a regular host of the Miss World contest on ITV, as well as the BBC's Children's Television Club which later became Blue Peter. In 1994, she was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to broadcasting.

Former Home Office minister Jess Phillips also condemned the "unduly lenient" sentence, saying it sends a "bad message". Southampton Crown Court heard two girls were raped in two separate incidents in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, with the first attack taking place on 26 November 2024 and the second on 17 January 2025. The three teenagers, two aged 15 and one aged 14, were given youth rehabilitation orders (YRO) and the two older boys were also made subject to intensive supervision and surveillance (ISS). Ms Phillips, who served as minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls until earlier this month, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It seems unduly lenient to me and has wider public interest beyond just the case itself in the message that it sends. "For those young women going through a rape trial like this will not have been a simple thing to do, it will have been many, many months, if not years, to achieve any sort of justice and I am afraid to say it sends a bad message." Ms Phillips added: "These young people it seems were essentially raping for content in order to put it on social media and share it to their friends gloating about raping these poor young women." A government spokesperson said the attorney general's office had received "multiple" requests for the sentences to be reviewed under the Unduly Lenient Scheme. They said: "We share the public's shock at the details of this horrific case, and our thoughts are with the young victims during this distressing time. "The law officers are urgently reviewing the case with the utmost care and attention." Hampshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones has vowed to support the families of the victims if they wish to appeal the "leniency" of the sentences. She said: "Their sentences reflect a clear focus on rehabilitation rather than criminalisation. They are far too lenient. "As they stand, they offer little comfort to their victims as they try to rebuild their lives after such harrowing experiences." At the sentencing on Thursday, Judge Nicholas Rowland told the trio: "I have to remember that you are not small adults. I have to think how likely you are to do serious things again and I need to make sure you do not do serious things again in the future." Explaining his sentence, the judge added: "I should avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily and understand the effects of their behaviour and support their reintegration into society." He added that "peer pressure played a large part in what went on". Read more from Sky News:Three dead in two-vehicle crashIan Watkins murder trial collapses The judge praised the "bravery" of the two victims for giving evidence to the trial and for providing impact statements on how the offences had affected them. Jodie Mittel KC, prosecuting, told the trial that the girl in the November incident, who was 15 at the time, had visited the first defendant after meeting him on Snapchat. The prosecutor said that after performing sex acts on the boy, who was then 14, she became "scared and anxious" when the second defendant and the pair raped her while the incident was filmed. Ms Mittel said that afterwards videos of the incident had been sent around and other people made jokes about her, and she received messages calling her a "slag". The complainant in the January incident, who was 14 at the time, was raped in a field near to Fordingbridge recreation ground while the incident was also filmed.

On Friday, journalists had turned up in their droves to pitch a question to him about his departure: Why now? When was the decision made? What will you do next? His opening gambit: "Aston Villa, guys, allez," which drew a laugh. Guardiola chose to speak very little about the whys, whens and whats, preferring to highlight "how happy and fortunate he was" to manage Manchester City for a decade. It was not the titles and records he stayed for - though they helped - it was the connection to a city he fell in love with "from day one". How Man City have guarded against post-Pep declineTransfer Centre LIVE! | Man City news & transfers🔵Man City fixtures & scores | FREE Man City PL highlights▶️ The debate over him being the Premier League's best ever was, to him, "not important", despite dominating the online chatter for weeks before - and no doubt months after. Nor, really, was talk of all the very many trophies - 20 in total - that have adorned his Man City career. When asked directly about his proudest moment he replied: "It's a question for the people; hopefully they enjoy watching us play." The joy of watching Manchester City play under Pep was not necessarily encapsulated in a final performance under him. The fact that Antoine Semenyo scored from a set-play in a drab defeat was perfectly ironic. Almost the antithesis of Pep-ball. Guardiola stayed rooted to his seat when the opener went in, presumably unenthused by its scrappy creation. Pep teams never have been built on set-piece prowess, they were not about to start now. "A good game for Aston Villa to get all the alcohol out of the bodies after the Europa League," he joked afterwards. It was clear from his experimental selection - nine changes from the draw at Bournemouth - that he was not chasing a 270th Premier League victory. Erling Haaland, Marc Guehi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Nico O'Reilly were missing entirely, none of them injured. What he wanted most was to share the experience with those who have made his time extra special. With his longest-serving aides and those who best represented the club's extraordinary evolution under him. With club captain Bernardo Silva. With Johnny, Jonny Stones. With academy royalty Phil Foden. The football was as immaterial as it could have been between two of the league's most tactically astute, technically obsessed coaches. The end result was of relatively little consequence, albeit you wouldn't know it from the way Guardiola berated both Bernardo and Foden during a drinks break in the first half. Former players Ilkay Gundogan, Ederson and Fernandinho were Pep's esteemed guests. In attendance as much to honour him as be honoured themselves. And tears flowed from start to finish. Bernardo was emotional from the moment he led the team out of the tunnel for the final time, peaking when both sets of players offered him a guard of honour to leave the pitch. His reaction drew the same response from Guardiola, who used his casual white T-shirt to wipe away the tears as he embraced the player who has comfortably made the most appearances under him (460). "I don't cry," said Guardiola afterwards, "but when I see Bernardo cry, I cry." Plenty in the stands welled up. Stones was overcome, too, the adoration from a record-breaking crowd louder than it's ever been. For one time only, Guardiola was happy to embrace fanfare over football. For only the second time all season, his team were beaten at home, the same number of defeats as champions Arsenal. And so, to his last ever press conference, longer and more expressive than his penultimate. Perhaps that is simply a byproduct of a matchday, a rawer environment where feelings are less containable. More likely, though, it was the culmination of something much greater. Pep did not make an effort to guard his emotions as he did on Friday. He spoke candidly about being ready to leave, the furniture from his house in Manchester long gone, and how his sentimental side had taken over many parts of the day with his 95-year-old father in the crowd. "The luggage of memories," as he put it, packed away to pour over at another time. Sat on a beach, perhaps, with rest and recuperation now top of his agenda for just the second time in nearly 20 years of relentless management. What will endure, of course, is the legacy of a coach that has delivered over half of the major trophies won by City, with a win rate (70.8 per cent) unlikely to ever be seen again. And a points-per-game ratio that dwarfs even the great Sir Alex Ferguson. Even with far fewer games than some of his contemporaries, Guardiola sits fourth on the list of managers with the most victories in Premier League history (269). The naming of the Etihad's expanded North Stand in his honour will act as a constant reminder of his profound impact and achievements. "The players don't know it, but I will be there controlling them," he joked. No doubt the psychology of that stand will forever carry meaning for those who played under him. Fans won't forget easily, either. Pep paraphernalia was everywhere on Sunday and summed up the sentiment perfectly: 'Ten glorious years. Twenty trophies. Thank you Pep.'
