On last night's main @BBCNews evening bulletin, we saw Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon taking a tumble at a Drugs Recovery Centre. @BBCScotlandNews didn't, which shows the grip she has over @BBCScotland
The tumble was beside the point. Thread👇

One would think, having decided to cut budgets to addiction services, a decision taken in full knowledge deaths would rise, a little more humility would be evident. No. Not this politician. She sees everything as a PR opp. And 10,000 deaths won't stop her.

There's a recurring theme
No matter the occasion, Sturgeon just cant help herself
She has no shame. When COP26 arrived, she switched from JR & 'oil bonanazas' to Greta Thunberg in the blink of an eye, selfie team at the ready..Even the planet dying is an opp not to be missed

Nothing is sacrosanct. During the Holyrood21 election campaign, Sturgeon shamelessly exploited her TV exposure for political gain. And 'thousands of preventable deaths' weren't about to get in her road..

What kind of leader thinks their diabolical record, & the devastating consequences of their decision making, is something to boast about?
The lack of contrition isn't just nauseating, it's actually terrifying.

Even the horrors of Auschwitz is used for PR..
There are no words..
7/10
Has there ever been a more opportunistic, self centred, self obsessed, vacant, disingenuous, ruthless, narcissistic, self indulgent & shameless leader in Scottish political history? @JournoStephen nails it. She just craves attention, & cares not a jot for the consequences.

Everything is stage managed. Is it normal to have a photographer standing by as you happen to come across a homeless person in the street? (Scotland has the worst homeless deaths in the UK) Who does that? Who posts photos of themselves, with photos of themselves behind them?

Under this despot, Scotland is already one of the most totalitarian regimes in the free world...Goodness knows what 'Independence' would look like under Her Royal Humbleness, Nicola the First..

Arrogant & beyond reproach, no one must question the Supreme Leader. Who cares if her record on social justice is deplorable? She evidently doesn't, hence the anger when challenged👇
Until Sturgeon falls in the political sense, Scotland will continue to suffer..

1/7 Matt Hancock, Sturgeon, Sarah Smith & Cobra meetings. A short thread👇
Today's Mail on Sunday excerpts from Matt Hancock's diaries (regardless of what we think of him) are very revealing re Sturgeon's abhorrent behaviour during Covid..
2/7 Sturgeon was so desperate to exploit the pandemic for her own PR agenda, she didn't care if she actually hindered the UK Govt's response. These claims are also corroborated by Dominic Cummings. It's morally reprehensible.
3/7 Its now clear Sturgeon was prepared to hijack Covid for her own ends, even if that meant undermining crucial COBRA meetings, & by extension, the Govt's response in trying to save lives. Cummings & Hancock's comments, now on record, also vindicate @BBCsarahsmith ...
1. I see Sturgeon's SNP Govt are getting pelters from anti poverty groups for giving UK Treasury money to those least in need, at the expense of those who need it the most (there must be an election coming up).
We shouldn't be surprised, it's been their MO since the start.
2. Despite not receiving cuts to funding from the UK Treasury in real terms for the first 10 years (its actually increased in recent years) the SNP absolutely clobbered Council budgets-
3. These shameful SNP cuts were nothing other than middle class vote bribes... With the disadvantaged bearing the brunt-
Nicola Sturgeon Eco Warrior.
A short story. 1/8 Once upon a time, there was an independence referendum in Scotland. Oil money was crucial to the Nationalist economic argument. Sturgeon predicted an oil boom..
2/8 We were 'on the verge of a North Sea bonanza'..
Short Thread👇 1. 'Offensive language is still used in Scotland on a daily basis, with abusive terms such as *Hun* & Orange B*****d being used negatively against Protestants (or those perceived to be)'. Quote- Nil By Mouth, Scotland's leading anti sectarian charity.
2. There is also legal precedent...
3. How ironic then that those attacking Glasgow Rangers are themselves guilty of sectarianism...
Humza Yousaf & the SNP, Rangers, the Police & the Liberal left commentariat.
A thread. 1. Shortly after Gers title party, a dodgy tik tok video appeared on social media, posted by @wulliewanker
Normal people would've said, 'You lost me at @wulliewanker ', but this is Scotland...
2. .. A nation where an SNP Govt, not content turning neighbour against neighbour with toxic Nationalism, also pick at the nation's sectarian scab through their own prejudice & /or for political gain in a systematic & concerted effort.
3. Regarding the infamous video clip, the Police surprisingly saw fit to post & comment publically on the specifics before establishing the facts. Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf retweeted to increase the publicity- acting as judge jury & executioner. So much for natural justice.
