Nicola in trouble

[P t Barnum]

Could be in the shit

 

[TangerineBayern]

Well and truly!

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

hopefully

This is presumably the finding that she misled the committee: https://order-order.com/

She'll likely try to brazen it out as "did not knowingly mislead".

Nothing on BBC or Telegraph BTW.

 

[Threepeaksphil]

If she doesn't resign it will have a dreadful effect on Scots May election plus no chance now of Indy 2 vote

 

[TSSeasider]

Sacked in the morning... or

"what a waste of money.."

I'm not sure she will really go tbh.

Not good news for the Tories though.

I take it you mean by Scotland staying in the UK Lytham?

 

[Lytham_fy8]

No, the SNP have decimated Labour in Scotland since 2015.

That’s what I meant but maybe didnt word it too well. If Scotland were to leave the UK it would severely weaken Labours chances of gaining a majority. But if this scandal over Sturgeon weakens the SNP it could mean Labour picking up some disaffected SNP voters
Have I worded that better?

Yeah, sorry, you were clear the first time I'm just thick

The key report is next week when the independent QC will report on whether she broke the ministerial code. I bet he fudges that and if it goes to a vote of no confidence the Greens will support her because they have no backbone and want independence.

Quite right. I'm surprised at the number of people on the right who want her to fall, in some ways, precisely because of this.

You could argue that this is a win-win situation for the Tory High Command. And I have no doubt that some of them would trade the Union for the prospect of long term hegemony in England in an instant.

It's never guaranteed though.

“Hegemony”. Ha! Excellent. That’s a word the Conservatives usually reserve for countries like China.

Doesn't matter either way, the SNP aren't going to support the Conservatives under any circumstances.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Doesn't matter either way, the SNP aren't going to support the Conservatives under any circumstances.

But their votes would mainly go back to Labour.

 

[Lost Seasider]

But their votes would mainly go back to Labour.

Hence doesn't matter either way.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Hence doesn't matter either way.

But those votes aren't with Labour while the SNP is strong and specifically under Sturgeon, which massively benefits the Tories.
