Oh my. The timing...

Pit the SNP against Westminster over trans rights and then run.

Oops.

KEIR AHM TELLIN YE - LISTEN TO WOMEN THEY WINNAE FUCKING WHEESHT AND AHVE HUD ENOUGH

Helleofabore · 15/02/2023 10:20

"She's 'had enough'"

Enough of having to blatantly tip toe around her words and having to say ridiculous things like 'this individual is a rapist' in reply to 'is that person a man or woman'.

Oh, okay, Twitter rumour has it Swinney will go with her.

Extra interesting.

We can only hope …

But will it be with immediate effect?

Or is it one of those 'not seeking re-election next year' tactics? Mind you, her limping on like a lame duck while the SNP's gender madness crashes and burns around them sounds quite good.

I'd say it will be the limp along version but hopefully I'm wrong.

To think this lot had the opportunity to put amendments in the GRR bill surrounding criminals etc but was rejected.

TheBiologyStupid · 15/02/2023 10:19

Just what I came here to say. I'm glad to see the back of the self-proclaimed "First Feminist", but I suspect that whoever replaces her will be full-on TWAW and continue to push the (aptly named) GRR nonsense.

Well yes.

But will they know where the skeletons are to hold all enough MPs in line? And will they have the appropriate protection?

Surely it will have to go to the vote too?

lieselotte · 15/02/2023 10:23

Well.

Surely it's not down to the transgender stuff. Maybe she's just decided to quit while she's (kind of) ahead aka Jacinda Ardern.

I wonder who Scotland will get instead.

The only decent person in politics and she's been toppled by a bad choice on trans shit.

And a peculation scandal.

Nonsense.

I bet she’s been toppled by the dodgy financial stuff.

That police investigation is probably going to reveal that Scottish politics is just as grimy and sleazy as Westminster. and Sturgeon is neither ‘clean’ nor ‘decent’.

VaddaABeetch · 15/02/2023 10:24

Flouncing? You will do as I say. Well it’s my ball & im going home.

I had to go and look it up, and I pride myself on a pretty wide vocabulary.

Admittedly some of it not really usable in polite society.

WarriorNun · 15/02/2023 10:27

A source close to Ms Sturgeon - the longest-serving first minister - told the BBC that she had "had enough".

Aye we've had enough too, of entitled men abusing women.

I wonder if the shite surrounding Beth picklebee plus all the trans prisoner debacle has tipped her over the edge

I wonder if something is about to be disclosed and she's jumped before being pushed?

Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6464790

Wow I didn't realise she'd been in post since 2014. Wonder if it was the news breaking that she's locked up 4 violent murdering men with women that made her realise she has lost all credibility of being a decent human being.

Yep, she's been in post since Salmond stepped down after the SNP lost the referendum. She's been his sidekick even longer. He'll be rubbing his hands in glee this morning, there is no love lost between the two by all accounts.

Thats even more interesting.
I don't like either of them.

CaveMum · 15/02/2023 10:28

There was an Alba MSP a few weeks ago, when the rapist stuff really kicked off, who implied NS’s departure was a done deal with lots of manoeuvring/deals going on in the corridors of power.

I'd forgotten about that, is he still planning on releasing them?
