Although it will be helpful if this doesn't dissolve in to a slanging match as personally I am desperate for Drakey & his ilk to sling their hooks too.

She's led her party and her movement into a dead end. She followed an increasingly bizarre and unpopular agenda with policy being largely determined by teenage activists, thus upsetting and disillusioning her indy-focused base (who often sit on the cultural right). She had nowhere to go and has been dropping hints about resigning for months now.

She's a good communicator, I'll grant her that, but as a leader she has manifestly failed not only her own party and movement but the people of Scotland, who have since 2014 experienced a significant and marked deterioration of every measurable outcome from education, to health, to public procurement, to infrastructure.

Good riddance.

This has everything to do with agriculture north of the Border.

For starters, I wonder if her successor will find the time to file their all consuming Trans and ‘Independence’ agendas, and make a start on their post Brexit agriculture policy.

Be an interesting outcome. Wonder which of the puppeteers will succeed in becoming the Puppet.

To be fair to Nicola, she handled the pandemic in a public aware way and gained much personal support.
Recent photo's show her aging rapidly from the stress, but that is no excuse for all the major foreseeable mistakes that she led her government into. Wasting 100's of millions. Unrecoverable.

I just hope that the internal workings of her party don't saddle us with a real "Crankie". There are too many in the background, with their own little agendas.

Not so fast…

When the BBC were singing her praises this morning, they forgot to mention (what was it?) the 3,774 we know died from health secretary ‘Calamity Jean’ Freeman’s policy of returning Covid infected patients back into old people’s homes and sheltered accommodation.
And who knows how many unknown deaths slipped through without a test result.

Never been a fan of her or her Party, just look at the state of Scotland's finances due to the complete mismanagement & fiscal ineptitude while constantly blaming someone else for the problems they alone have created............. absolutely disgraceful.
Should be renamed The Medusa Party........................everything they touch turns to stone.

There are no rose tinted spectacles being worn here for her................Good Riddance.

Yes I actually agree with that comment. If Doctors were behind that policy them they must have missed infection control lectures.
What I meant was that she and her medical advisors came over to the public as significantly better at explaining the situation than London, which should have been leading the way.

I am not an snp supporter, but there are a few able and competent msps, but god there are a hell of a lot of idiot ones.

I think the pandemic saved her job, she was probably on her way out before it hit.
I have put it on here before but the SNP and Sturgeons biggest shame will be what they have done to the education system.
