Great piece from Daniel Finkelstein about Sturgeon, but why did you ever have to treat her as sage or a titan? Her calamitous failure in government on every metric, along with her inexplicable crusade against women's rights have damaged Scotland badly. All in plain sight.
🚨BREAKING: Reform UK has JUST banned Pride & LGBTQ+ promotions from Essex libraries.
They say they are putting books & learning FIRST, not woke indoctrination.
This is a win for common sense.
🚨 Good morning to the millions of everyday Brits waking up right now to go to work and pay their taxes.
Just a quick reminder before you start your daily commute. You are paying the highest taxes in British history to a political establishment that actively despises you.
You are getting up early and working yourself to the bone to fund luxury hotels for illegal migrants, bloated green vanity projects, and a Labour government that is busy plotting how to surrender our borders back to the EU. They are using your hard earned money to fund the managed decline of your own nation. Do not let them normalize this. Have a great day, and retweet if you are absolutely sick of footing the bill! 🇬🇧☕️📉
Another question now we know all the ringfenced money for independence has been spent by the SNP.
Where’s the ringfenced money that was for cladding given to the Scottish government (SNP) by the UK government ?
@JeremyVineOn5 The person who introduced high income tax in Scotland, saying those with broadest shoulders should pay more, & the first thing she did when she resigned was open a Ltd company & move to England, to avoid Scotland's horrific income tax.
A 2 faced lying narcissist.
FFS. We have an upcoming public sector black hole, and you want to put public sector workers onto a 4 day week with no loss of pay? Have you not got any grasp on reality?
It's hard to escape the conclusion that those who failed in governance of the SNP are now governing Scotland.🤔
I can't think of any company, institution or organisation where heads wouldn't roll for this level of mismanagement, be it complicity, cover up or sheer incompetence.

An increase of almost £2.5 trillion in just 20 years. A tale of gross economic incompetence by successive UK governments to a point where interest payments on the national debt are now over £100 billion a year - funded by the taxpayer.
Let’s enumerate:
• she was married to & cohabited with the thief
• she received & used stolen goods
• the goods included highly ostentatious items, cars & a campervan
• she was head of the party whose money was embezzled
• she signed (& thereby took responsibility for) accounts
• she shut down awkward questions about them, imperiously & with veiled threats
• 3 members of the NEC resigned over lack of access to financial records
• the party’s accountants resigned & had to be replaced
• the police saw fit to arrest & detain her
• she refused to answer police questions
• she has subsequently lied about what she knew & what she saw
• she claims, despite knowing better, to have been ‘exonerated’
I understand why, despite all this, she has not been charged. Proving dishonest knowledge or belief the goods were stolen would not be easy in this case.
She has NOT been cleared.
If Nicola Sturgeon told me it was daytime I’d need to check if the Sun was out.
She is a horrible, nasty piece of work. A toxic, vile divisive nationalist who bullshitted for a living.
Sturgeon loved schadenfreude when applied to her opponents.
She had no discernible talent.
Sacked as a solicitor. A notorious bully and liar. 7 hours of “no comment”. Didn’t notice a £1400 luxury coffee machine in her kitchen because “she has no passion for cooking” nor a £6000 set of custom-made fitted bookshelves in her ‘library’. Presumably drank water out of the toilet and made herself a sandwich in the garage because she was “hardly ever in the kitchen".
Nope, just the chief liar in a mob of nationalist liars.
Nicola Sturgeon never saw some of Peter Murrell's illegally bought items because she didn't spend 'any time' in her kitchen 😂
This is getting comical now. Was she drinking water out of the toilet and making tea on the stairs? 😆

Whilst a lot of focus is on SNP finances we still have no explanation to where £15bn of covid funding went, where rates funding for hospitality went or where cladding money went.
I have no idea how you hide a £2k coffee machine in this kitchen. I can't hide a packet of custard creams in ours - I have to hide them under my jumpers in the wardrobe. It just doesn't add up, does it?
