Nicola Sturgeon Home?

148 replies

TwentytoTwelve · 29/09/2026 19:32

When she was first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon was often interviewed by the press outside of her home.

I can remember feeling shocked at how small her house was. I think it was semi-detached.

And it looked like it was on a housing estate or just an ordinary house.

Now, there is obviously nothing wrong with this. It’s just that I assumed because she was such a high-ranking politician and had so much influence and notoriety she would’ve lived in a better and larger home with more security.

And I’m not even saying this in relation to the money that her husband allegedly laundered from the SNP. Just in general, I would expect such a politician to have a better house.

Why do you think this is?

Humza Yousaf lived down the road from me. Scottish mps don't tend to have the familial wealth that English ones sometimes have

Nicola sturgeon has been lying to everyone for over 20 years. She doesn’t live with her “husband” she lives with her female partner of 17+ years in a lovely house in the Scottish Borders. Her “husband” also has a male partner he lives with. The fake veneer of successful traditional couple is ridiculous when everyone knows about them!

lol so he’s not in prison and she’s not living in London on a boat then?

anyway, she earned 157k as first minister, him 80,both in insecure jobs

the house, and I know the area, likely valued about 400k max.

Poor Humza. I think I he's great. He got all that racist shit about "go back to where you were born." Rutherglen. 😆

Ha ha ha. That’s hilarious. Yup, woman of the people with a brass neck you couldn’t mark with a blowtorch. She makes Michelle Mone look honest.

Why do you say that?

Plus. We are part of the UK!

Indeed! Although of course if someone Scottish wins an Olympic medal they will be reported as British before they mention they’re from Glasgow… we have it too!

Maybe Peter's "male partner" is a fellow prisoner? The absolute shite people post about them is a sign of a very sad life.

I have no clue why Peter did what he did. He apparently did similar when Alex was leader.

However, he was, imo, a lovely but obviously troubled man.

Good for her for living in an ordinary home.
I always assumed it was because she never forgot her roots.

I've just choked laughing.

Me too, all also very sensible and reasonable people!

MidLifeMayhem · 30/09/2026 18:00

She lived in a pretty nice new build estate absolutely not semi-detached. She was filmed outside the house when the news story re her husband being arrested / house being searched was at its peak.

I must have missed the part where politicians have to disclose their sexuality, sexual history, sexual partners, romantic relationship status, and domestic living arrangements to any random nosey git who deems these sorts of things to be very much their business in the first place.

"Lying". Err... no. It's none of "everyones" business.

Small people with small lives.

Nicola is, and always will be, one of my favourite women.

The fact that a woman from a council house (aye her parents bought it, but so did many other people) became FM of Scotland for more years than any middle class man, is something that every single woman should be happy about.

I used that in my job working with disadvantaged young people. Boys and girls. This could be you. FM of Scotland.

Doesn’t matter what your upbringing is. A lassie from a council house runs the country and has been elected to do so more times than any other person.

And all these curtain twitchers care about is who she shagged!

Absolute, complete and utter weirdos.

It's Nicola's H who was charged and found guilty of criminal behaviour and who is in prison serving time. She was investigated and no charges were brought against her.
You should be careful what you say if you are throwing about accusations about people.

There are some pretty vile and unpleasant posts on this thread.
I've never understood the level of hatred directed at Nicola. Unbelievable.

I ceased to have any interest in Nicola Sturgeon the day she resigned from Government, because that was the day she ceased to have any relevance to my life, yet here we are three and a half years on, and still she's living rent-free in the heads of some of the more odd contingent on here, and seemingly driving them to apoplexy simply for existing.

The Harry & Meghan crowd are weird enough, but the NS obsessives aren't far behind.

She threw women and girls under a bus by prioritising men over us. Absolutely shameful.

Except what you posted proved she was lying

cityliving99 · 30/09/2026 22:54

Doesn’t she live in London now?

sohard · 30/09/2026 17:26

So you agree she was lying when she said she didn't ” spend any time in her kitchen"

A lot of time.

Of course her husband lives with a male partner. He’s called “Big Dave” and sleeps on the top bunk.
