Oor Nicola Sturgeon thread.

[orfc]

From BBC: "She refers to the special SNP conference next month and says "I free the SNP to choose the right path".”

Sounds like internal disagreement is the reason for going, some in the SNP still actually think independence should be the main goal

I know an anti-vacc covid denier guy who is a staunch nationalist who said he wouldn't vote for the SNP until Wee Nic moved on - bases hos entire political stance on government covid responses - hates Jacinda Ardern as well.

That's the kind of logic/intellect we're up against sometimes.

Up to the SNP NEC to decide how long that race will run for.

Thanks folks, I think my stream was slow.

The Sky twonk asking if this is all about GRR

The STV boy chucks in the "party finances" stuff

..................where do they get these fandans?

 

In (surprising to me) news, BBCs Glen Campbell was actually respectful and sensible in his questioning.

[Sleeperman]

The wolves were circling over the many scandals and f**k-ups from this Junta, and Sturgeon is a shrewd enough cookie to know when shit is heading for the fan, I wonder if her trophy “husband” will also step down or continue to milk the system.

[Lyle Lanley]

Give it to Mark McGhee. 

[Lofarl]

Right what’s the tldr of all of this. Ain’t been following politics for ages.

[ICTChris]

She went on a bit IMO. I guess she’s entitled to, it’s her resignation.

[cambozpar]

Glorious stuff, fanboys gutted everywhere.

Glen’s perfectly capable; he’s also smart enough to know it’s in his interests of continued employment not to show it too often. 

[SandyCromarty]

Absolutely no indication of a resignation at the Consuls soiree at Edinburgh Castle last week.

Like her or loathe her she is easily the best politician Scotland has produced to date and will be a hard act to follow

[Ludo*1]

Sorry lads, at work so missed out on doing the usual list. 

Gutted by this news.

Probably not the most ridiculous post we'll see here but it'll be up there.

Journos enjoying one last roasting 

[O'Kelly Isley III]

It seems that Sturgeon's final act as leader may have been to inspire some P & B members who never normally come near these political forums to demonstrate that unique brand of Scottish self-loathing.

[Billy Jean King]

Swotting aside these questions like flies to the end. The total lack of a"zinger" is making them look pathetic here

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

This is the biggest press conference any of these journos will ever get to go to and they haven't rustled up a single worthwhile question between them.

Sturgeon is a top class politician. 

The standard of what we now refer to as Journalism is hilariously bad.
