Good news for Scotland (and the rest of us)..

'In my head and in my heart, I know the time is now' - Nicola Sturgeon announces resignation as Scotland's first minister

The leader of the SNP says the shock announcement is not down to "short term pressures" but because the job "can only be done for so long [and is] now in danger of becoming too long".

Is she getting pushed out?

Press conference later apparently - using 'trans issues' to virtue signal not quite the slam dunk she expected lol..

I think people forget that almost half the electorate in Scotland actually voted for Sturgeon sometimes

Personally I've no idea why they picked the GRA stuff as the hill to die on though, bizarre.

Ah well probably a bloke to replace her

Good news finally, I'm only 1/4 Scottish but I will be having a nice cold Beer to celebrate alongside all my fellow Scotts.

Going before being pushed, like the New Zealand woman.

When you say 'bloke' thats quite a broad term in Scotland lol

We seem to be getting a two for one deal here:

Jeremy Corbyn won't be Labour candidate at next election, says Starmer

Sir Keir Starmer says the party has changed permanently under his leadership and "we are not going back".

Excellent Nick, excellent ...

 

[Yaayuh!]

I never saw what the hate was all about tbh. But nevertheless, she wasn't going to be there forever.

Her resignation letter has been leaked and has been posted on Twitter.

"All" my fellow Scots - huge stretch there

Good riddance, vile woman. I suppose Swinney will replace her and he is not much better.

 

[Mysterae_]

This'll split opinion in my work. For some of them you can't say a bad word about Sturgeon despite the damage she's done to the reputation of Scotland.

Shall we have a poll on who's going to replace her?

- Trout
- Gold
- Cod
- Perch
- Pollock
- Pike
- Greyling
- Wrasse

Rumoured that Swinney is going too, to be fair he's not exactly got the charisma to lead a party, he was dire back in 2000

 

[Ahleckz]

For those saying, good riddance, vile woman, etc, care to elaborate on why you think this?

Not saying this is good or bad, just think these derogatory comments with no context aren't great and not adding anything. It would be interesting to hear why you have these views.

LMAO

Wow, did not expect this at all. Scottish independence just got kicked down the road again.
