Nicola Sturgeon's time is up

[Ax^]

so why did she resign

compatible to other leaders as of late it seems pretty tame I mean she did not even kill over 100 thousand of her voters

I’ve just renewed my SNP membership too.

Don't forget that you've been a member of the Tories, Labour and SNP. Isn't it time the Lib Dems got a look in?

Who?

Literally nobody can remember the name of their leader. (They've gone through a fair few in Scotland. At least I think they have anyway cos I can't actually remember any of them.)

Is there a toaster avoidance party?

Their current leader is Alex Cole Hamilton, chiefly known for mouthing 'fuck you Marie' to a female SNP MSP during a zoom committee meeting

Labour too have gone through a succession of non-entities at the top. I met one, Iain Gray. He was a nice man, I liked him. But nobody ever noticed him walk into a room. I bet few could name him, and he was in charge twice.

"Nicola has done a great job in uniting Scotland"

Erm, no she has fucking not and now she's doing a runner from the car crash she has created.

'Iain Gray' is literally a name you would invent for an anonymous Scottish man.

 

[PR1Berske]

Craig Murray (yes, I know) is bouncing about twitter like an angry wasp in an upturned jam jar, having apprently got access to Stuart MacDonald's (SNP Foreign Affairs spokesperson) entire personal emails and is swithering on whether to dump the contents online.

The contents are rumoured to be pretty nuclear. This may or may not be related as whilst this departure was widely expected at some point before the next Scots election, it does seem a little hurried.

Craig has published a blog claiming that Nicola was a Unionist plant supported by an Establishment needing to defeat the independence movement. I'm not sure we need to believe everything he says.

 

[weepiper]

Craig Murray is a crank fud. Ignore anything he says as loonspuddery.

It suits him entirely.

agreed, however a lot of noise about this on social media which may or may not be context for this.

Nothing else needs to be said about Murray. Except he’s actually a nasty piece of work.

 

[Idris2002]

Are there no post offices in Scotchland?

 

[steeplejack]

Are there no post offices in Scotchland?

what?

 

[redsquirrel]

Surprised by this.
I can't see it making the SNP being seriously challenged but I'm skeptical it will benefit the SNP. Whatever one thinks of Sturgeon's politics there's no doubt she displays more competence than most politicians.

 

[danny la rouge]

what?

Easter rising reference.

 

[Idris2002]

what?

A famous Scotchman once found a comfortable billet in an Irish post office.

 

[steeplejack]

Oh

 

[quimcunx]

I would imagine at least 50% is what she said. Had enough. Had it lingering there in the back of her head then finally decided. Jacinda did it which maybe gave her permission. Fuck this shit wrt recent events.

And then this fraud investigation. Maybe that was the main thing. If so I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

If he really does have this guy's emails - and he may just be living in a loonspud's paradise - my first reaction would be to ask who gave it to him, and why?

Christ, I got him confused with Jim Murphy there for a moment and thought you'd completely lost the plot.

There is that. If he does have them he’ll probably publish. After all he vindictively and totally unjustifiably identified the accusers in the Salmond case, the misogynist fuckspud.

Fuck no.

 

[Sasaferrato]

so why did she resign

Time will tell.

 

[marty21]

8 years in a tough job is impressive , no Tory has done that since Thatcher , and she has almost seen out 4 Tory PMs (would have seen off Sunak) .

 

[gosub]

So is it due to some corruption scandal about to break?

The Nicola Bulley disappearance doesn't help. Got a bing bong off the beeb about police investigating Nicola Bulleys disa... right after the one about Nicola Sturgeon and my brain was in full wishful thinking mode

Bloody hell, that's appalling behaviour (and I'm still slightly puzzled by the verdict in the Salmond case, though from another point of view it's not surprising at all).

A comfortable billet. Is that a dig at the quality of RN gunnery?

 

[Elpenor]

As danny la rouge would say himself, he's right about everything on this thread and people should listen.

You forgot to add “to jazz”
