Alexander Elliot Anderson "Alex" Salmond, (pronounced /ˈsamənd/) is the First Minister of Scotland, heading a minority Scottish Government. Full Article
So let me say this to Alex Salmond – this election that's coming ... it will be a British general election
The general election in Scotland will also, I believe, be our answer to Alex Salmond's calls for a referendum on independence. Before a vote is cast, I can say with complete confidence that this is an election which will be won by the Unionists in Scotland.
In the time that it takes me to read this sentence, Labour will have added £50,000 to the national debt. Even if Alex Salmond could eat one lunch every two seconds at £9,000 a go, he would still not be able to auction off enough of them to stop that debt from growing.
Let’s be clear what this British general election is about. It’s about electing a British prime minister, a British government and a British parliament. Alex Salmond is not going to be that prime minister, the SNP is not going to be that government, Alex Salmond is not standing for that parliament. Voti...

This is a desperate attempt by Alex Salmond to divert attention from the troubles swamping his government. His independence bill is doomed to failure, is a waste of taxpayers' money and parliamentary time. He needs to start acting like a First Minister. He should stop dithering and either ditch the bill...
The facts are that Alex Salmond is in a desperate place. His administration has run out of steam, his ministers are under pressure and he is frightened that his last remaining key manifesto pledge is set to be rejected.
The donors/auction winners didn't need to win the auction to make whatever points they may or may not have. They were sitting a few yards away from Alex Salmond all evening. We're also talking about the most accessible First Minister we've had. I know all sorts of people, often of no real substance, who...
Alex Salmond's behaviour has demeaned the office of First Minister. The fact that he now admits that he also sold three lunches in the parliament's restaurant for £1,500 last year doesn't draw a line under the affair, it makes it worse. What we are seeing is a pattern of unacceptable behaviour from a se...
What is most disturbing is the First Minister thought he could routinely sell private meetings to raise funds for the SNP ... It shows a complete lack of respect by Alex Salmond for the integrity of the office. This sort of grubby behaviour is totally unacceptable. A full investigation of cash for acces...
Daily Record splashes front page with Alex Salmond lunch, with two inches for MPs repaying £1.1m....#SenseOfProportion
Alex Salmond is playing Celebrity Come Dine With Me
The First Minister must make clear who bought the lunches and for how much. Alex Salmond has to explain how his £9000 lunch is connected in any way to his duties as First Minister or an MSP.
These are very serious allegations accusing Alex Salmond of selling the office of First Minister for SNP funds. The implication of 'cash for access' to the First Minister and his deputy has to be answered. Was it wrong of the First Minister to auction lunch with himself in Holyrood to raise £9,000 for t...

Everyone knows there is no such thing as a free lunch, especially when it comes to Alex Salmond.
Scottish Ministers should not be available to the highest bidder. I'd have thought that Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon would have learned from David Cameron's cash for access scandal.
It is frankly appalling that Alex Salmond and John Swinney can find money for a referendum but not for valuable infrastructure projects.
Instead of free prescriptions for Alex Salmond and other politicians, we should have more health visitors for Scotland's children and walk-in health centres.
It’s time for Alex to think again on these matters. It’s by no means true that people want to see the world through tartan-tinted spectacles. Unlike Alex Salmond, we don’t see everything through a Scottish prism.
Scottish Government ministers have already taken a pay freeze on both their ministerial and MSP salaries last year. Ministers, as the best-paid MSPs, have shown a lead to the public sector as a whole. Alex Salmond and John Swinney have said it is incumbent on those at the top of the public sector to sho...
People will be highly surprised to see Alex Salmond’s favourite celebrity front up claims that this financial institution is the inventor of green banking
This is a huge embarrassment for John Swinney and Alex Salmond. A key SNP backer is saying that Scotland is not the place to do business. The business community in Scotland wanted a pro-business budget from John Swinney but when they criticised his decision to axe the Glasgow airport rail project, his f...
It appears that full answers were not given to the questions I asked ... On the one hand, ministers were expressing concern about the SIF and money, and on the other Alex Salmond was supporting this person as a parliamentary candidate. There are serious questions to be asked.
Ministers always have the right to reject advice but never when it puts the lives of others at risk. If she does not go voluntarily, Alex Salmond must … require her to resign.
