Where the heck is Nicola Sturgeon?

From what I have seen, Sturgeon hasn't given any updates on coronavirus since before Christmas. Have I missed them somehow? They're usually at 12.15.

Don’t complain- it’s bliss. No deal Nicola will be back soon enough.

Ffsnosexallowed · 30/12/2020 12:37

Shes having a well deserved rest! Though I think due to give an update today?

DivGirl · 30/12/2020 12:37

She’ll be on today to say they’re voting against the brexit deal —in what is definitely not just a political power play— and then giving a Covid press conference later.

I don’t like her but she’s from Ayrshire and it’s the Christmas holidays. She’s probably been staying in her jammies and drinking baileys out a mug.

TheThingWithFeathers · 30/12/2020 12:39

Eh? She's been interviewed on the news. She's also giving an update in parliament this afternoon. Hope that helps.

cocopops · 30/12/2020 12:39

Or spending quality time with her “friend” in Stirling 😛

historyrocks · 30/12/2020 12:39

I don't like her either, but I would like to know what's been happening with the virus up here. Unless I missed some reports, it's been a week since there was a press conference (with or without her).

I love NS and think she's a legend but she's on my naughty list for voting no deal. I personally think she wants brexit to be as bad as possible, to fuel her indy drive. Her worst fear is that not much happens and we all move on.

historyrocks · 30/12/2020 12:41

Thanks @thethingwithfeathers.

Oh FFS!

Regardless of what you think about her politics she's been 'on' almost constantly for months. Don't be grudging her a couple of days of peace and quiet!

Who would have wanted to hear her on Christmas Day / Boxing Day anyway??
And if you're that desperate then follow her on Twitter, she's been on there plenty.

3:30 for an update today though so you don't miss that! 🙈

emmathedilemma · 30/12/2020 12:42

Waiting to see what BoJo has planned for Englandshire before she puts her own stricter twist on it? I'm quite enjoying that the rules haven't changed for an entire 4 days.

historyrocks · 30/12/2020 12:43

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking generally about her, but about the seeming lack of information on the virus situation over Christmas. I'm sure she'll be all over TV with the Brexit stuff.

OP posts:
raviolidreaming · 30/12/2020 12:43

Yep, addressing Holyrood this afternoon: Brexit at 1.30 and Covid at 3.30.

There's Scottish news programmes on every day. And loads of figures online.
historyrocks · 30/12/2020 12:46

Perhaps I was a bit unclear initially--I don't care whether she's on the TV or someone else. I'd just like to have some information on the situation. I have tracked down yesterday's figures on the scot.gov website so know where to go in the future.

hapagirl · 30/12/2020 12:54

She was interviewed on the BBC yesterday outdoors in a pretty scarf.

DivGirl · 30/12/2020 13:00

Travelling Tabby is pretty good for the stats rather than trying to read it on the ScotGov website.

slashlover · 30/12/2020 13:02

The last I heard, people were complaining when she was on every day as it was "pure self promotion".

She can't win.

backaftera2yearbreak · 30/12/2020 13:04

I’ve enjoyed the break from listening to her. Her voice makes me feel ill.

FirTree31 · 30/12/2020 13:04

I was just thinking the same...thought we'd hear about schools/tiers

the80sweregreat · 30/12/2020 13:05

I saw her being interviewed on tv outside yesterday in a tartan scarf ( which was lovely) looked like it was her garden?

Orf1abc · 30/12/2020 13:10

Do you have any particular questions that Google can't answer OP, or did you just post for a dig at Nicola Sturgeon?

slashlover · 30/12/2020 13:10

@backaftera2yearbreak

You do know that you can change the channel when she's on?
backaftera2yearbreak · 30/12/2020 13:50

@slashlover ah I never thought of that 🙄 except she’s fucking everywhere just now. Impossible to avoid hearing her at least once a day. I used to be a perfectly happy functional person until the beginning of this year. Now her voice sets off an anxiety I never used to have.

slashlover · 30/12/2020 13:54

Weird. I've only seen her on the news and the OP is about her not being on TV. Is she popping up in Loose Women as a panellist or one of the contestants on the Chase?

LimitIsUp · 30/12/2020 13:55

Saw her on the news yesterday.
