"Her handling of the pandemic has been widely praised and she has fronted-up the challenging public health campaign with competence, commitment and empathy."
"Nicola Sturgeon is rated three times more strongly than Tory leader Douglas Ross and new Labour leader Anas Sarwar. Her intelligence is rated twice as highly as her rivals, as is her understanding or ordinary people, her genuineness, honesty, trustworthiness and charisma."
"Having failed to lay a glove on her, opposition politicians and the anti-SNP commentariat have launched a full-on Trumpist assault, deploying character assassination, wild exaggerations, accusations and conspiracy theories."

Actions that might warrant investigation!
"Instead of a genuine interest in the female complainants who reported the behaviour of the ex-First Minister, they have attacked his successor."

Had #Salmond exercised self-control and not acted inappropriately towards women none of this would have happened!
"Even a cursory glance at the social media timeline of Tory MSPs shows this is about taking out Nicola Sturgeon, rather than protecting women."

Are the opposition a hit squad or politicians - they demonstrate only naked ambition for political advancement!
"Nobody disputes that investigations into sexual harassment should have been better handled. Hopefully that will be the ultimate outcome of the investigations."
"Surely we can agree that all women treated unacceptably should have the confidence to come forward, their complaints dealt with properly and their identities fully protected."
"All recent polling shows how highly Nicola Sturgeon is rated by the public and I am confident that they want her to continue serving as First Minister."

"Even after a turbulent week, the SNP is polling better than the Tories, Labour and Liberal Democrats combined."
"In less than 10 weeks’ time, we will vote in Scottish Parliament elections. It is the public who will have the ultimate democratic say that matters, not Tory MSPs and anti-SNP commentators."

At what point might UK Government declare enough is enough and halt the insanity perpetrated falsely in the name of, "the people"?

At what point will it be recognised that UK Goverment, their party donors and loyal supporters have crossed the line between realism and delusion?
At what point will respresentatives of "the people" demand that UK Government be held accountable for bringing UK into disrepute and bankrupting UK?

Might Brexit and COVID scams constitute breaches of the ministerial code?

At what point will UK Government be expected to resign?

Walker began: "Nicola Sturgeon under a bit of pressure, that inquiry she will be giving her evidence today from 9am. Do you agree that she's fighting for her political life today?"

All in a day's work in #scottishparliament !!
"No I don't," Blackford replied. "I think what you're saying is the worse kind of politicking from the Conservatives."

You might even think they don't want #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 !
"This has been a much-postponed appearance from the First Minister at the committee she's been very much looking forward to coming in front of them, she'll of course answer all the questions they put to her."

@stonesister7 @FerretScot I agree, that is one to watch and to be alert to its' motivations and agenda.
@stonesister7 @FerretScot I have sensed the undercurrent in devolution and especially 'reserved matters' or more specifically, the current day reinterpretation of these to suit an agenda other than what we are accustomed to, in a democracy.
@stonesister7 @FerretScot The offensive over #ScottishIndependence, running roughshod over the rights of self-determination, for each of the four nations/province comprising UK.

UK is NOT a country but a union of four nations/province; each having distinctive histories, cultures and needs.

"GARY Kelly is a well-known stalwart of the Scottish independence movement, but he is a fair-minded sort of guy who wants England to have indy too."
"He applied to the people who run the Petitions website for the Westminster Parliament – you know, the one that promises “consideration for debate” in Parliament if you get 100,000 signatures – mischievously asking them to host a petition calling for “Independence for England”
"...so that our neighbours did not need to keep subsidising Scotland and the rest of the UK."

"Not for the first time, the Tories have been accused of proposing new laws which strongly resemble fascism."

"Meanwhile, all of this is coming from a government which appears to be simultaneously seeking to dictate how Britain’s history is told."
"Jason Stanley, a philosophy professor at Yale University, succinctly summed up his thoughts on the current state of affairs by highlighting two short passages of his book, How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them."
“Here’s what’s happening in the UK right now,” he wrote on Twitter, showing two graphics highlighting key aspects of fascism.
