Thanks for posting the link. Hoping to see something other than SNP trying to weasel out of giving a response

I just caught her asking a question and some didn't agree so they've gone to a digital vote. Was it on this?

RollerGirl7 · 31/01/2023 14:12

Think She said there was a motion to amend the scheduled parliamentary business. Does everybody agree, somebody shouted no so it went to a vote

So the Greens are hiding away, using striking workers as a shield. Who is going to be the sacrificial lamb sent out for slaughter, aka make the statement.

NS has to see that she is toast, the rumours already abound on Twitter that people are talking in the lobbies about how to get out of this mess and the only way is for NS to fall on her sword if they want to regain any shred of credibility.

I think the 'Minister' giving the statement is goig to be the Justice secretary, Keith Brown.

Ah, I've rewound to the beginning. Sturgeon has refused to attend parliament today, according to Russell Findlay.

How the fuck can the FM refuse to attend parliament? Is she supporting striking teachers too?

mrshoho · 31/01/2023 14:32

She's probably got a migraine from all that head bobbing and twitching yesterday

Is this like the time Boris hid in the fridge but worse because at least he wasn't actually PM at the time?

What kitchen appliance is Nicola hiding in? Answers on a postcard please. 😂
