To wish fab Nicola was our PM

[jnfrrss]

Her thoughts this morning

My first thoughts this morning are with service personnel called to action. Syria’s use of chemical weapons is sickening - but the question that the PM has not answered is how this action, taken without parliamentary approval, will halt their use or bring long term peace. #Syria

Sorry I know this misses the point but who is Nicola?

Absolutely agree the events in Syria are devistating those poor poor people it's never ending he'll

Sturgeon.

A) The PM has answered how action will halt the use of chemical weapons.

B) have you seen the state of Scottish schools and infrastructure right now? Nicola Sturgeon is not the answer.

Whilst I think Nicola Sturgeon would be better than either Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn, the record of the SNP led governments in Scotland makes me think I wish we had a better choice than all three.

Jeez, no.

Horrid, divisive woman who is a one-trick independence pony.

She is disagreeing with bombing Syria because that is what she does - disagrees with anything the UK government does to show just how different the SNP is, Scottish opinion is and why we should be independent. it's ALL she is about. If Theresa May said everyone was getting a free kitten she would disagree with that too.

She's not "fab Nicola". I think you can probably add another word starting with F instead.

Could not imagine anything worse than having Nicola Sturgeon as PM.Currently living with the consequences of having her as first minister.

God no. I live in Scotland and she is making a right mess of things up here.

Hmm fab Nicola. Maybe have a look at Scottish politics in particular hee party. It’s worrying how every single one of their msp/mp always toes the party line without question. That doesn’t happen in any other major political party.

Nope nope nope!

God no ..... no no no ...... vile vile vile woman

Scottish schools maybe not perfect, but neither are English ones. She's head and shoulders better than may, corbyn, trump and Johnson.

May had a very weak answer as to how this would help.

Awful woman, you want to live here where schools and hospitals are poor. My local hospital maternity unit has closed meaning labouring women are travelling two and a half hours on terrible roads.

She is only interested in independence so will disagree with anything Westminster does.

Always liked her but I don't live in Scotland, always comes across as having her head screwed on straight and as if she just might have a soul.

Aw god take her if it gets her out of our hair.

I have a lot of personal admiration for Nicola Sturgeon as she's an incredibly competent and effective politician but the SNP have done a terrible job in Scotland. Our schools are failing, hospitals oversubscribed and in crisis, councils underfunded due in part to council tax freeze etc. I would never vote for her to be in government.

Agree with PPs - wish we had a better option than Sturgeon, May or Corbyn

Have you actually talked to anyone Scottish or looked at what she's doing there?

YANBU to want someone other than the shower at Westminster.

YABVVVU to want that to be Nicola sturgeon.

That’s your opinion but not others. I wouldnt vote for any of them at the moment but I’m glad May is in charge.

Everyone is head and shoulders better than Trump!

Overall I don't think she is better than any of the others.

The Prime Minister in not required to seek Parliamentary approval for this decision.

Nicola should know this, and should also know that international military operations against dictators are not opportunities for trying to score cheap political points.

YANBU.
She’s an astute and skilled politician and is still pretty young (as far as political careers go she could easily have 20-25 years in her), so we may see her as PM yet - of an independent Scotland.

Nicola should know this, and should also know that international military operations against dictators are not opportunities for trying to score cheap political points

She does know this. She's a career politician and not a stupid woman. She knows exactly what she's doing, and with what end. Don't fool yourself that she is bothered in any way about Syria. She's bothered about independence for Scotland. End of story.

I haven't heard what she said but it's very easy to make pronouncements about foreign policy when you don't have any means of following through so can't be held accountable if it turns out you're wrong.

Incidentally (since we're talking about Scottish education) the proportion of the poorest kids attending university is lower in Scotland than in England, partly because the schools are a mess and partly because our Nicola would rather continue to defend free uni fees (which would be paid back later by those earning enough) than provide enough funding for poorer students to pay their rent and bills while at uni (who need it now and are dropping out because you can't work the hours some of them need to work and still do well). So "it's worse in England" is not only a shoddy set of expectations for Scotland but also inaccurate.

Oh dear God, I can't think of anything worse 🙈 I'm having a hard enough time sleeping just now without the thought of wee Nic as the PM 😫

No to Nichola! Please never let it be! Unthinkably awful!
