"This situation began with an extremely serious issue. The mishandling of an investigation into sexual harassment allegations. And I honestly wish that everyone’s focus had remained on that issue."

"But what we’ve seen since then has been the deliberate, systematic and entirely cynical exploitation of that issue to suit motives which are all too apparent today."

"The media in Scotland and throughout the UK is awash with speculation about the Sturgeon/Salmond psychodrama. The coverage of this has been culminated by one question, what does this mean for the independence cause?"

"Regardless of why, Yes supporters began March facing a slew of polling placing the independence movement on the back foot."

"But two recent polls suggest this decline may have halted."

"At the beginning of March, polling showed that No had a one- or two-point lead. Over the weekend, an Opinium poll for Sky News showed Yes with a two-point lead, and today’s BMG Research poll for The Herald shows Yes ahead by four points – 52% to 48%."

All these results are within the margin of error, meaning that if a referendum were held tomorrow the result would be too close to call. But that this has been the situation since the beginning of March suggests that the decline in Yes support has halted.

"ALEX Salmond was touted as a potential candidate for deputy prime minister in the UK Government after the 2014 independence referendum, according to Alastair Campbell's diaries."

You might want to read that comment a couple more times before the full implications hit you! 😮😲

"The revelations come in a serialisation of extracts from Campbell's diaries from 2010 to 2015, which exposes the turmoil behind the scenes of the campaign to keep Scotland in the UK."

"The idea for Salmond's Westminster role was said to have come from one of his former aides in 2015, shortly after he announced he was running for a seat at Westminster."

"Perhaps stealing public money to pay political party supporters, promising to boost national affluence and the economy but blocking exports and impoverishing the poor, or breaking international law, might bring on resignation."

Look no further than UK Government for evidence!⚖️

"But confusion over the date a leader heard about allegations of their predecessor being accused of inappropriate sexual harassment? How can that lead to resignation? How can that equate to breaching a Ministerial Code?"

"The call for her resignation was simply devised and leaked by the political opponents taking part in the Holyrood Harassment inquiry’s committee. They feel it might give them a little more chance to win more seats in the May election."

Rather suggests they have no credibility!

"The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF), brought in to replace the funding lost due to Brexit, will not be allocated by the Scottish Government."

Scottish citizens elect @scotgov and @ScotGovFM to manage the strategic allocation of funds for the benefit of everyone in Scotland.

"Instead, Westminster will use the powers outlined in the UK Internal Market Act to allow it to bypass the devolved administrations and spend in devolved areas."

What guarantees exist to ensure appropriate use of funds, given UK Government's track record of cronyism and bribes?

@scotgov

"While within the EU, Holyrood was the managing authority of both the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF)."

@scotgov and @ScotParl evidently have a proven track record of managing these funds effectively for the benefit of all citizens.
