So what will happen to her legislation? Will any successor have the stomach for a constitutional battle with Whitehall and a fight in the courts. And if not, what about the Greens. It is (for whatever reason) an important issue for them.

I am not Scottish, so selfishly hope it gets messy causing Keir to realise he needs to shape up his act.

It will either be buried quietly or someone will double down on it

Thank God 🙏

I always wonder what prompts sudden and unexpected resignations. Why now?

I am Scottish and live in Scotland.

I don't think it's one factor. It's a combination of pressure and things which have built up. The multiple accusations of mishandling funds and missing money. The fiasco with two ferries which were supposed to cost £72 million and have to date costs £500 million and are still not finished. The fact that she's beholden to the loopers in the Greens to get any legislation through parliament. The news this morning that several SNP MSPs are not backing her controversial bottle deposit scheme which was due to roll out this summer - creating a trade difference between Scotland the the rest of the UK. The Isla Bryson / Tiffany Scott stories which was for many ordinary Scots the WTF moment. The recent poll which shows support for independence at 37%.

Her Thatcher moment :)
What a wonderful day :)

Oh dear, India being wrong again. Who'd a thunk it?

The only decent person in politics and she's been toppled by a bad choice on trans shit.

You might want to read more widely.

KohlaParasaurus · 15/02/2023 10:37

I hope this doesn't mean she and Murrell will escape being investigated to within an inch of their lives.

She was on Mariella last week assuring her she had 'plenty left in the tank'. A week is a long time in politics indeed.

I wonder what information is about to break?

lifeturnsonadime · 15/02/2023 10:37

Well hopefully this is good news for women's rights in Scotland.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 15/02/2023 10:36

This is a woman happy to let women be locked up with male murderers and rapists

I’ve no sympathy at all - this is entirely of her own making

CloakAndTin · 15/02/2023 10:36

Yesthatismychildsigh · 15/02/2023 10:01

That’s sad, I wanted her ousted.

That's why she's jumped. Just like Jacinda.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 15/02/2023 10:36

From twitter:

Nicola Sturgeon has announced she is stepping down.

Not a surprise to those of us that know what is in Stewart McDonalds emails.

Wouldn’t it be a horrible thing, if allegedly, certain very senior, most senior people in the SNP had been using trans politics issues to deliberately heave ‘stalwarts’ out the SNP membership and reduce demands for independence?

Very inconvenient if you discussed that by email.

Allegedly of course. Just hypothetical.

SlouchingTowardsBethlehemAgain · 15/02/2023 10:35

She has probably had enough of being vilified in the Daily Mail and its ilk.

RLScott · 15/02/2023 10:35

lieselotte · 15/02/2023 10:23

Well.

Surely it's not down to the transgender stuff. Maybe she's just decided to quit while she's (kind of) ahead aka Jacinda Ardern.

I wonder who Scotland will get instead.

Kate Forbes is the frontrunner apparently.

Wiktionary gives a helpful exa from Anthony Burgess's 1989 The Devil’s Mode:
She considered herself engaged to be married to a Scotch propaganda officer who had been dismissed for peculation and gone home to sell cars."

That's a shame. I think she's great.

Appalled at the misogynist vibe on here calling her a witch etc.
