Good riddance, poisonous cow!

There's a lot of potential "scandals", but they never seem to pick up any traction in the media up here. She and the SNP seem to get a very easy ride from the mainstream media for some reason.Jobbo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 10:10 am I’m amazed. I heard her interviewed on a podcast a couple of weeks ago and she sounded thoroughly positive and very much looking forward to the next election. Suspect there’s some sort of scandal about to break which has caused her to do the right thing immediately, not like those cnuts in Westminster.
This has apparently come as a surprise to virtually everyone and the press conference been arranged hastily, so I don’t think it’s a simple decision by her.Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 10:21 am It could be she has just got exhausted. I do think the SNP will struggle without her - who are the likely candidates to take over?
Wasn't there some deeply dodgy stuff about her husband loaning money to the party and her claiming to know nothing about it?Ascender wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 10:47 amThere's a lot of potential "scandals", but they never seem to pick up any traction in the media up here.

Confirmed by brother-in-law who is an aide to Alyn Smith (SNP MP for Stirling). Total blindside - he is in the states on holiday and had to be woken up!Jobbo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 10:56 amThis has apparently come as a surprise to virtually everyone and the press conference been arranged hastily, so I don’t think it’s a simple decision by her.Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 10:21 am It could be she has just got exhausted.

The fact that most of her own party didn't know this was coming and there is no plan in place for succession yet suggests that surely something terrible has happened that she's trying to dodge the bullet of.
That was the rumour over the weekend when her possible resignation was being mentioned... in connection with the "missing" 600K, but you know how people love the attention of starting a rumour for shits and giggles. So who knows.Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 2:01 pmThe fact that most of her own party didn't know this was coming and there is no plan in place for succession yet suggests that surely something terrible has happened that she's trying to dodge the bullet of.
