She is an excellent orator, I will give her that.

I did think she would hold on to the last moment, I do wonder what financial fireworks are coming.

'Most trusted party' 😂

She is. But once you realise that it's all performative bullshit and the speech patterns and rhetoric are all very carefully orchestrated but ultimately empty and meaningless, it starts to grate.

JimHensonWasAGenius · 15/02/2023 11:20

Really pleased.

Just hope Starmer takes note then I might be convinced to vote for them again.

Oh, shut up and fuck off, Nicola. It all rings hollow, even the wee chuckles.

Have you tried clicking the 'X' button in the top right?

I mean I'm no fan of hers but you're hardly being forced to watch it.

RudsyFarmer · 15/02/2023 11:21

I have just been whooping and laughing in the car on hearing this news. Then I cried lol and my first thing when I got home was to come on here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you common sense and hallelujah 👏

Not sock puppeting - I am ArcaneWireless through and through. Just coping spectacularly well.

TightFistedWozerk · 15/02/2023 11:21

Lots of martial speak. Battle on, duty, blah blah.

ScissorsPaperStone · 15/02/2023 11:21

Sheesh, she can't half blether.

Jellycatspyjamas · 15/02/2023 11:21

Show quote history

This is First Minister of my country. I need to know what's happening and why. She's waffling.

Wheresthebeach · 15/02/2023 11:22

Heavens she goes on a lot doesn’t she…

TightFistedWozerk · 15/02/2023 11:22

Amused by hearing sirens faintly outside Bute House.

I was the same, heard it on the radio straight away grabbed phone to log in on here.

Cripes rattling on and on

mrshoho · 15/02/2023 11:23

Notice she hasn't mentioned her husband once unless I zoned out and missed it. She talked about her niece/nephew.

RudsyFarmer · 15/02/2023 11:23

I’m trying to read the thread to find out what she’s said. No doubt making herself look like the victim.

AutumnCrow · 15/02/2023 11:24

Is she trying to argue surreptitiously that people objected to rapists in women's jails because they just didn't love and appreciate Nicola enough? And they let their judgements be clouded by not liking Nicola - otherwise everyone would be cool with the GRR?

Veryfishy · 15/02/2023 11:24

A lot to say , and it seems it’s all about her
Its a shame she can’t take drippy Mark Drakeford down with her

littlbrowndog · 15/02/2023 11:25

BABY BOXES. You heard it first here

Scotland is fairer today?

naw it isnae.

RedToothBrush · 15/02/2023 11:25

There are certain subjects she has not mentioned once yet in her speech...

Not overtly, no.

Jellycatspyjamas · 15/02/2023 11:26

She could have done a lot to depolarise debate, maybe by entering into debate 🤷‍♀️

RudsyFarmer · 15/02/2023 11:26

Anyone got any Twitter links that I can enjoy the ratios of?

HufflepuffRavenclaw · 15/02/2023 11:26

Just as Sturgeon's resignation speech started, it stopped raining and the sun came out in Glasgow. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
