Marvelous great for the country 🇬🇧
This is great news..
Incredibly sad news. SNP are by no means perfect but I genuinely view them as the party that takes the worst of the sting out of UK Gov austerity policy. Deeply disappointed and worried for the future of Scotland.
It's almost as if the coppers have waited until Sturgeon was replaced before nicking him. Imagine she hadn't resigned? Would the leader of Scotland's husband still be in handcuffs today?
