STURGEON IS QUITTING

[Clymene]

Just seen on BBC headlines

Good question

Feel like she's about to ask us to charge our glasses and raise a toast to her.

Actually, I might.

🍸🍸🍸🥃🥃

I did wonder, when she started talking about issues very close to her heart, I thought she might mention trans rights. But no. TRAs will be devastated.

"Short term issues" = gender stuff

She’ll be picking safe journalists.

Short term ishoos with long term consequences under your eye.

Yep short term issues.

Whoever her successor is she will be 'cheering he or she on'

That's discriminatory Nicola. What if they are non-binary?

Mind your pronouns and be fully inclusive so the non-binaries don't feel left out.

Not for women though

Feminist by Christ.

Pish.

She defines woman as anyone who identifies as one though

AKA the fuss will die down and we'll get our way.

In your dreams.

Jeez. Feminist here we go

you didn’t care about women in Scotland

So that's the problem

You are right ahead is trolling us. Stand up for feminist -fuck me sideways and cover me in feathers.

I'm a little confused - what is the point of this speech / press conference. Is this usual?

Agree with above poster - there are certain issues notable by their absence - I'm hoping the press do their job.

Told you. She's alleging that she's far too feminist to be liked by all, hence why GRR failed. She's either mad or lying.

I notice in her speech that she did not include the GRC vote as one of her victories…

She will always stand up for women's rights... As long as they're transwomen

Brilliant question

Thank goodness for that. I don't even live in Scotland but her stance on gender was ridiculous.

Oh my god. Objections to GRR partly about independence issues layered over it. Then says she's a feminist and stands up for women's rights. The fat cheek. Good thing she's going with that attitude.

'I'll always be a feminist.' My arse.

She’s a human being
