A silver wine coaster

Murrell splurged £3,500 on a silver wine coaster from luxury Scottish brand Hamilton & Inches in 2018.

Luxury pens … and a pencil sharpener too

Murrell clearly appreciated top-of-the-range writing utensils, spending thousands of pounds on fancy Montblanc pens. He splashed out on a Starwalker fountain pen costing £4,225 in 2017, a Meisterstück pen in 2016 for £2,125, and another rollerball pen costing him £2,370. Murrell also bought a £110 pencil sharpener in 2018.

The onesie

The ex-SNP chief seemingly valued his comfort. Murrell spent £75 of party funds on a “Men’s Slouch Pouch Onesie” in 2012.

‘Delicious’ Portuguese olive oil

Murrell slipped through two bottles of “Delicious Portuguese extra Virgin Olive Oil” on the party’s dime.

Le Creuset

Murrell seemingly had a penchant for the swanky cookery brand Le Creuset. He made 36 purchases from the company, including three casserole dishes for £784, a £224 crockpot and dozens of mugs.

Coffee machines and tea sets

Murrell appears to be a fan of hot drinks. He bought a £3,232 Jura GIGA 5 coffee machine in 2016, a £1,866 Jura machine in 2017 and a £2,595 Jura machine in 2018. He also acquired a Smythson tea set for £2,995 in 2021.
