First Minister

[maggiebee]

I listened to the First Minister yesterday. She spoke without faltering throughout and was clear, concise and precise. She answered all the questions head on and had evidence and robust information to support each response. Compare this performance to our Prime Minister’s recent embarrassing rambling.
I am full of admiration for Nicola Sturgeon.

Bet they haven't. They're Gromit's friends ... and Gromit is big on agendas.

[naomi24]

See? Told you, bhg. :o)

[anneasquith]

Gromit. Not Boris best look .

[Deskdiary]

Great - you've got a FM who you think is a great orator, although I doubt that will be much comfort if she gets her wish of independence and Scotland is in penury.

[middlemarch]

Well, I live in Scotland and I'm embarrassed by Sturgeon and her pathetic manufactured grievances.

[emmie]

for whatever reason i don't like her nor her policies. She may be more coherent but what she says is often nonsense, to a lot of Scots on and off this site. Independence Bah....... wait till the sticky stuff hits the fan, and she is made to backtrack when she doesn't get her way.

12 36 I have to agree with Gromit ,Boris as P/M is the Laughing stock of the ..World leaders.

//During the pandemic lockdowns her daily updates were in a different ballpark to Boris and Co.?/
I agree altho the press who asked question's seemed to be trying a lot harder than in scotland to catch the ministers out, asking unrelated or multipart questions or questions like 'when is the Health secretary/PM going to apolagise face to face to every relative of the deceased'. Nicolas seemed to get a much easier ride,from what I saw , although maybe her approach of copying Boris but changing it slightly made her look shrewder.
She would of been good in Brexit negotiations if she'd taken it on

[emmie]

have you seen the others gulliver, especially sleep Joe Biden, the man makes noddy look animated.

[emmie]

time for dinner, enjoy your fight.

[gulliver1]

When Boris made his speech to the CBI he looked like he had just been beamed on to the stage,,,, sort of Mr Bean Style ...and didn't know where he was.

[ichkeria]

I am not a fan of Nicola Sturgeon particularly but there's no doubt she's a formidable politician.
Everything the English/British PM is not.

[Bobbisox1]

I hope she gets independence for her country, I really do

[ichkeria]

I really hope not.
And in fact if I was a betting man I'd say it isn't going to happen

[Bobbisox1]

Ich then stand back while the *** hits the fan , no subsidies etc :0)

[ichkeria]

I'd be careful what you wish for.
It would diminish the UK greatly.
Scotland would eventually join the EU (yes it would) and I predict that that would hasten the rejoining of a rump England and Wales to the EU.
God knows what would happen to NI

[Bobbisox1]

Strangely enough I never felt like that till the wee one in her suit and stilettos made it her life’s work

[pat2604]

Nicola can spend much more time preparing her speeches, albeit in her mononotous tones. She doesn't seem to have that much to think about apart from referendums and independence. Awful woman!

[AuntPG]

ich totally agree with you. Scotland is not the poor relation, relying on UK handouts, that many in England believe it to be.
