Oh Dear ….

[Bobbisox1]

Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-64647907

Is it to spend more time with her family?

[ToraToraTora]

She's seen the writing on the wall I'd imagine. The people of Scotland are sick of one issue politics.

[Spungle]

Good riddance; let's hope the new leader isn't some similarly obsessed drongo.

[anneasquith]

Why would she not want to spend more time with her family ? .

[murraymints]

Best news ever

[bobbinwales]

Maybe bobbisox is getting at the way many people give that as the reason even when its sometimes clearly not the only reason

[Bobbisox1]

I’ll say it now she’s gone,
She’s anti English
She’d do anything to go against Westminster
She was obsessive and lost sight of anything than independent Scotland

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I was bobbinW

[ynnafymmi]

No use asking me.She was no more competent than the last few prime ministers we have had.Charismatic certainly,but no more than Boris Johnson was.

[THECORBYLOON]

"I’ll say it now she’s gone,
She’s anti English"

Do you have an example of that?

[murraymints]

She has been on the way oot for a good while the latest gender hoo has , her own Mps turning against her and police enquiries etc off you go dearie

[murraymints]

Hoo ha

[MissTerious2]

Good riddance.

[murraymints]

She ,as Bobbisox said, was all about her own ambition, NOT speaking for a nation on most matters

[anneasquith]

‘ her mps turning against her ‘ . Maybe mMM will supply an example of that also ?

[murraymints]

You clearly pay no heed to parliamentary reports

[theshedman]

I am waiting for her news conference later to say she is quitting because of the English government. She will have to blame them for her misgivings.

[murraymints]

Lol why but of course..head in sand to the end

[murraymints]

Come back Ken McAllister..all is forgiven

[Arksided]

I’ll miss her Scots are famous for their comedy

[ichkeria]

I am not a big fan of hers but she has been a huge figure in British politics and First Minister if I'm not mistaken for 9 years and counting: Thatcher lasted 11 years and Tony Blair 10, so I am not surprised she might want to depart the scene soon.
