So much to be proud off 😝

niugboo · 15/02/2023 11:26

Good.

feellikeanalien · 15/02/2023 11:26

Questions coming up soon. How will she deal with those?

Chrysanthemum5 · 15/02/2023 11:26

Rather hypocritical to say she now hopes people can see the range of talent in the SNP when she was the one taking all the attention.

littlbrowndog · 15/02/2023 11:26

Mentioned her husband.

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

Quite.

DINNAE FORGET THE BABY BOXES YOUS

That’s sad, I wanted her ousted.

I wonder if she has been. There was a smattering of calls for resignation last week. And there is a list if failures as long as your arm. In an interview with Kussenberg only last month she said that, unlike Aherne, she had plenty left in her tank.
Also in the last month she has made a fool of herself in interviews about the trans rapist in female prison. All her other failures may have given rise to hostility and disagreement but her handling of the trans issue made her a laughing stock. No politicians can survive that.

Hurrah!

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.

There ye are.

AutumnCrow · 15/02/2023 11:28

She's gone from anxiety attack to super smug in 20 minutes.

littlbrowndog · 15/02/2023 11:28

She so did

MidsomerMurmurs · 15/02/2023 11:28

Aw. Wee pause like she hoped for applause. There was none.

SinnerBoy · 15/02/2023 11:29

"Talented individuals," eh? Does she mean "rapists who are really good at macramé," or something?

WandaWomblesaurus · 15/02/2023 11:29

So basically all I got from that speech was don't blame her for anything as she's not to blame for anything but she loves us all.

But she supports rape victims apparently.

Jellycatspyjamas · 15/02/2023 11:29

Stronger protection for victims of domestic abuse, until you turn up at a refuge and find a man there.

Calyx72 · 15/02/2023 11:29

RedToothBrush · 15/02/2023 11:25

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

Yes I thought that as well

littlbrowndog · 15/02/2023 11:29

Awash with the talented individuals. She’s trolling us now

🤣🙊

ArabellaScott · 15/02/2023 11:29

Oscar thanks now.

Chrysanthemum5 · 15/02/2023 11:30

Is Scotland fairer? Presumably the women locked up in prison with violent men don't feel life is fair.

And I guess the communities with the worst levels of drug violence and drug death in Europe don't feel it's fair

And those of us who think that the Greens have had a ridiculous level of influence despite their poor vote showing, don't think it's fair

Ifeellikeateenageragain · 15/02/2023 11:30

Chersfrozenface · 15/02/2023 10:02

Before we all start breaking out the champagne, is she just going to be replaced by another batshit genderist?

Will the SNP as a whole backpedal on the GRR bill?

This. Was she somewhat alone in her views or was it representative of the broader party?

ArcaneWirelessIsCopingJustFine · 15/02/2023 11:30

Boom 💥

littlbrowndog · 15/02/2023 11:31

Trans coming up now

TheClitterati · 15/02/2023 11:31

Gender GP will offer her a job for sure.
