Yay!

AnneLovesGilbert · 15/02/2023 10:03

I’m doing a little dance! Good riddance.

ReedRite · 15/02/2023 10:04

Happy days! Intrigued to see what’s caused the haste.

Botw1 · 15/02/2023 10:04

Wtf?

Really?!!

I did not expect that

Hedjwitch · 15/02/2023 10:04

Best news ever! Am actually cheering. Hope her resignation is swiftly followed by being arrested for fraud

Botw1 · 15/02/2023 10:05

Hopefully this is the end of the grc carry on

Sending rapists to women’s prisons?

Is the reason the financial investigation and its findings? Or the mishandling of transgender prisoners/rapists? Or something else?

I'm not sure if anyone will be sorry to see her go.

Has she actually resigned?

Hbh17 · 15/02/2023 10:07

About time - she had lost the plot!

Is the GRC now firmly in the long grass? And the potential court case with Westminster?

Who will take over?

Just heard this, it's a fantastic piece of news for our country BUT who is the replacement 🤔

Butchyrestingface · 15/02/2023 10:07

Gee, I hope she feels like her inability to differentiate between XX and XY was all worth it now.

SD1978 · 15/02/2023 10:07

Yay!!!!

Botw1 · 15/02/2023 10:08

I used to really like her.

I thought she came across well in comparison to other politicians who lie and evade. I agreed with a lot of her politics.

However her handling of covid, terrible record on the NHS and education and now the grc have put me right off her

Doesn't bode well for who to vote for though

maddy68 · 15/02/2023 10:08

I really like her. She was a constant calmness during the covid crisis while Boris was dlip flopping all over the place.

I was reassured with her at the helm.

topherman · 15/02/2023 10:08

I'm a supporter of Nicola, but she really, really messed up with the gender reform bill unfortunately.

TheKeatingFive · 15/02/2023 10:08

I wonder what's going to come out about the finance stuff?

Angus Robertson or Humza Yousaf I would imagine.

Is Alex coming back?? If so he has voiced strong views about the safety of women’s spaces.

@Blessedwithsunshine

Thats a joke, right?

HashtagShitShop · 15/02/2023 10:10

About time. She really thought she'd cracked into something that would keep her in place to then realise those who are that woke and vocal are the minority and the rest of us are lost in a whole cloud of "wtf?"

Me thinks she jumped before she was pushed
