Neil Gray faces scrutiny for using public funds for limo to film premiere

In Scotland, Neil Gray, the Health Secretary, is under scrutiny after being accused of misusing taxpayer funds by taking a ministerial limo to a film premiere. The film, titled 'The Outrun', is based on a memoir by Orcadian writer Amy Liptrot and is set in Orkney, where Gray grew up. Gray stated on social media that he was excited to see the film as it was being showcased at the Sundance Film Festival. However, the outing raised questions about the nature of his attendance, especially since he also had health-related meetings on the same day in Edinburgh. The last event of the day for him was the film premiere, raising concerns about whether it was a legitimate ministerial duty or a personal indulgence. Gray has previously apologized for taking official transportation to sporting events but insists he will find a better balance in the future, despite criticism from political opponents who suggest that his actions indicate an abuse of privilege.
