Nicola Sturgeon RESIGNS (+ ALLEGEDLY CROOKED + FOUL LANGUAGE + HUSBAND CHARGED + DIVORCING + LEAVING PARLIAMENT + NO LONGER SUSPECT + LOVES CILLA)

[ZenGiraffe]

Didn't see this coming at all.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

WTF!

 

[jivafox]

No!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Press conference at 11am.

I hope it isn't a medical issue.

 

[COB]

Oh no

 

[Rita]

Oh no. I am SHOCKED!

 

[COB]

Who do we think would replace her? Kate Forbes?

 

[VoR]

Hope this isn’t because of all the abuse she’s received for her view on Trans rights/Self ID, but doubtless the TERFs will be claiming it as a victory either way.

Bad news for the SNP anyway, she’s clearly their greatest asset.

I need to avoid Twitter today. It’s going to make so fucking angry

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Forbes, Yousaf, or Robertson. In that order of likelihood, is my guess.

 

[Soldi]

 

[Rita]

She has been through so much as first minister I am just really surprised to see her leaving before another referendum, or was she never going to get that?

 

[Marina Salty]

Oh no, why?

 

[RS]

Oh no! Why?

 

[Rita]

Will the press conference be available to watch anywhere live?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Although on the plus side, she's such an asset to the SNP it can only help Labour win the 2024 GE.

 

[ButterTart]

That's a shame. Competence in public office is such a rare commodity in British politics, so she'll be missed.

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh no. That horrible Salmond will be pleased as well.

 

[funky]

Shit. I really liked her.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Will the press conference be available to watch anywhere live?

All the news channels will be taking it

 

[RS]

I hope this means she gets to become the PM of the whole United Kingdom

 

[AGinAg (37)]

From an English perspective, she's by far the most appealing politician on this Isle and I've been frustrated that we don't have her and her party down here as a voting option.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I hope this means she gets to become the PM of the whole United Kingdom

She might be taking a high profile UN job, rumours swirl about them every now and again.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Hopefully she'll stage a coup and be crowned the new Queen.

 

[Sheena]

I’m ALL FOR Sturgey, but yes, this has to be good for Labour.

Fuck the TERFs claiming this, though.

 

[Sheena]

or just FUCK TERFs generally

 

[Sheena]

or just FUCK TERFs generally

Actually, don’t fuck TERFs

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Actually, don’t fuck TERFs

BURY THEM

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I blame Jacinda Arden for this.

 

[funky]

I blame Suella.

No particular reason, she’s just a cunt.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

press conference just about to start

 

[ZenGiraffe]

(though I am watching on BBC News)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I blame Suella.

No particular reason, she’s just a cunt.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

She's Jacinda Arderning

 

[Rita]

What a FANTASTIC speech. She had me crying at the end.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Going to miss her so much. What a fantastic person

 

[RS]

She might be taking a high profile UN job, rumours swirl about them every now and again.

But we don’t want her there. We want her to either fulfil the Scotish independence and a break up of the UK agenda or to leas a de-brexiting process.

She's staying in Scotland for the foreseeable future at least, she said she's going to the back benches.
