Nicola Sturgeon

[derxa]

I'm no Nicola fan. But her daily updates are clear and calm. She also thanked us in agriculture and the rest of the food supply chain. Cheers Nicola

She did a really good interview on an Edinburgh / Fife radio station this morning (Forth One). I don’t like her politics but I do like her and her style of leadership. She comes across very well, make a nice change from Boris!

I watched her update earlier today, non-waffly and quite forthright in saying Scotland won't have reached their peak in one week. I liked it.

One thing this crisis has done is show many of our politicians in a completely different light.
As PP's have said Nicola Sturgeon has come across really well, as has Matt Hancock.

I've never voted SNP and have always been against independence. However I've gained a lot of respect for Nicola. She is a breath leader at this time & has outshone Boris & many other senior politicians by miles,

Nicola has suffered for years because she is a woman and SNP. People judged her for that alone. She has always been a very able MSP and deserves huge kudos. I have a lot of respect for her and she tells it like it is. And when you see the arsehole in No 10, she shines even more brightly.

Matt Hancock has not come across well. He's out of isolation early. He said last night 'some nurses have died'. Some nurses, some mothers daughters, partners. Didn't mention their families. Has consistently lied and fudged about testing and PPE.

I've never voted SNP and have always been totally against independence. Used to roll my eyes and turn tv off when Nicola Sturgeon came on. But even I have to admit I have gained a new found respect for her these last few weeks. Never thought I see the day where I looked forward to her calm, factual press conferences. She's like a sea of calm compared to the bungles in Downing Street. Keep up the good work Nicola!

Sorry, but she was an utterly useless MSP! (I lived in Pollokshields East). I think she works far better as First Minister, as she very clearly didn't give two hoots about constituency matters.

She is doing well currently. I have grave reservations about much of her politics, but at least she is a calm and stabilising presence, and we need that at the moment.

I’m not a fan of independence or the SNP but I do trust her with this so far she’s done a good job .

Don't know her personally. Cannot stand what she represents in Scotland. Our health service, child poverty and education issues beggar belief. Standing at a podium reading a script does not make her a good leader. The truly terrible record her party has in government has done Scotland no favours.

She's superb. Proud of her as a leader and as a human being. I'll never vote for her because I don't support indy, but I'm so glad that when the music stopped, it was her. Cheers Nic, hope you get a nice break once all this is over with doll.

Sturgeon has been very clear and direct.

Hancock is better than the others in his party (Raab, Gove, Sharma) but that's hardly a ringing endorsement.

Had gone right off Nicola after another tax rise and lies about teacher wages during the Strike .... BUT she couldn't be doing any more ..she's fab just now .

Here. Here!

Yup, I trust her. Better than Boris or trump for sure.

She’s been doing great the last few weeks but I will never vote for her party.
