The Scottish Greens have made a statement

twitter.com/scottishgreens/status/1625823679358595073?t=LO06iW2m5prrfXql9vUgPQ&s=19

Again no mention of "the issues" Hmm

Maybe the whole GRR farce will be quietly dropped now?

I think it's much more likely they're hoping the fuss will die down, the media and public will move on to other things and forget about it and they can quietly get their way.

I don't think that's realistic, but then the Greens and realism parted company some considerable time ago.

Missed it too. Was it this re the police?

www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23315583.sturgeon-pressure-police-step-snp-fraud-probe/

"NICOLA Sturgeon is facing more questions over the SNP’s finances as police step up their investigation into a potential fundraising fraud

After preliminary contacts when the probe began 18 months ago, Police Scotland have started to contact key witnesses about taking more substantive statements.
One senior figure told the Herald on Sunday they expected to be interviewed imminently as 'Operation Branchform' shifts gear.
Launched in July 2021, it is looking at whether funds raised specifically for an “independence campaign” were improperly spent by the SNP on other things."

I can't rewind! Someone asked if she would be co operating with police, and she cut him off and snapped that she wouldn't comment on a live police investigation, and fucked off.

I can rewind on the iPlayer app! The mask slipped right at the end! Priceless.

Blimey.

Who would want such a poisoned chalice?

There was a poll the other day. Out of the options none of them got more than 7%

Lest we forget eh Nicola:

Scotland has one of the highest drug death rates in the developed world. With 1,330 drug misuse deaths in 2021[2], this represents a marginal decrease on the record high of 2020 and still 4.6 times as many deaths compared with 2000.

An independent review by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a Paris-based agency, found the Scottish education system had failed to keep pace with the latest best practice and had no long-term strategies or vision.

Scotland has the worst health inequalities in western and central Europe:
The gap in life expectancy between the most and least deprived areas in Scotland is roughly 13 years for males and 10 years for females
The gap in healthy life expectancy (the number of years lived in good health) is even greater - roughly 23 years for males and 24 years for females

It is estimated that 19% of Scotland’s population (1.03 million people each year) were living in relative poverty after housing costs in 2017-20.

This is shocking, set out in one place. And so at odds with the picture they paint of a Northern Utopia, when compared with nasty, racist, brexity England which funds them and where the ideological differences are not quite as large as they would like them to be.

ArabellaScott · 15/02/2023 11:55

I presume that was in relation to the fraud investigation.

Wow, the police question at the end! Shock

I missed that, what was the question?

Seeingadistance · 15/02/2023 11:53

What was the police question? I’m abroad just now - receiving this joy from afar and via MN!

sashagabadon · 15/02/2023 11:53

Gender ideology really is a hill that politicians go and die on. Wonder if kier and mark drakeford are watching carefully.

Floisme · 15/02/2023 11:53

Ouff that last question - and her reaction - made it all worthwhile

scratchedbymycat · 15/02/2023 11:52

*Agree.

The journalists were utterly wet apart from about two.*

Oh, I don't know. I thought the slight hesitations before 'The Issues', spoke volumes. We all know what those are, and we all know in Sturgeon's Scotland we can't speak about them.

'The Issues' can now be used alongside 'The Individual'. Imagine the answers to PMQs.

It's absurd.

@AutumnCrow a weep drop in our tea? Purely medicinal purposes

I sense her and husband will 'officially' split and she can get on living 'a new way of living'

Such a mis-direction because as far as she's concerned transwomen are women so she doesn't give a fuck about biological women's rights at all!

Yes, Important to remember that whenever she says women's rights, she means women + men that claim to be women.

Good point

Boiledbeetle · 15/02/2023 11:50

I've only just woken up! I think! Please tell me I'm not still dreaming!

Woohoo

AutumnCrow · 15/02/2023 11:50

Is it too early for a celebratory and steadying hot toddy? I do have a sore throat, to be fair.

RedToothBrush · 15/02/2023 11:49

Misiecle · 15/02/2023 11:48

Honestly, the reporters are being as disingenuous as she is. 'Recent issues' = immense trans fuckup.
She's immolated herself on this ridiculous ideology and she can't even name it.

Agree.

The journalists were utterly wet apart from about two.

James cook I think

AutumnCrow · 15/02/2023 11:48

Who asked about the police? That was excellent. How she scarpered.

ArcaneWirelessIsCopingJustFine · 15/02/2023 11:48

Hoist by her own petard. And a pair of clingy pink breeks.

Wasn't it just!?!
