Before we all start breaking out the champagne, is she just going to be replaced by another batshit genderist?

That was my first thought, too; what if her replacement is even more rabid?

There is also this, a police investigation into alleged fraud

Women said NO in Glasgow, that helped send her on her way

What a shame. She always stuck by her values whether you agreed with her or not.

True, true. There are precious few politicians willing to stick up for the rapists in women's jails.

Radio 5 definitely giving the impression that choice of inmates for women’s prisons has been a deciding factor.

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

We’re going to miss you Nic (actually I bloody hope not. Surely the only way is up at this point?)

FriedEggChocolate · 15/02/2023 10:05

It's not on the Guardian site, even with a refresh, so this is definitely an unplanned development. Will be interesting to see what her reason is.

GingerScallop · 15/02/2023 10:05

Lets wait and see why she is resigning. May be she is unwell? I hope not

CaveMum · 15/02/2023 10:05

Yesthatismychildsigh · 15/02/2023 10:01

That’s sad, I wanted her ousted.

I suspect this was a “jump before being pushed” scenario.

scratchedbymycat · 15/02/2023 10:04

Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6464790

Wow I didn't realise she'd been in post since 2014. Wonder if it was the news breaking that she's locked up 4 violent murdering men with women that made her realise she has lost all credibility of being a decent human being.

Ohhh

ArseMenagerie · 15/02/2023 10:03

Good result for common sense

mrshoho · 15/02/2023 10:03

No other option for her. Hope her husband steps down too. Wonder when though? Just wait now for the disclosures of what they have been up to.

Floisme · 15/02/2023 10:02

Fabulous and thoroughly deserved.

Dare I ask who's taking over Shock

Chersfrozenface · 15/02/2023 10:02

Will the SNP as a whole backpedal on the GRR bill?

FluffMagnet · 15/02/2023 10:02

This is amusing me more than it should.
