Anyone lauding Sturgeon’s political skills should be looking at the state of the NHS, schools, our over-centralised and unresponsive police service, a nationalised shipyard that can’t finish ships and a nationalised rail service that struggles to run a railway.
Sturgeon’s sole political skill is presentation. She talks a good game, which is why you lot down south all think she aced her covid response when all she was really doing was copying whatever HMG did and adding a bell or a whistle to it to make out she had somehow considered it more deeply or carefully.
Everything she has said and done since 2014 has been about maintaining a very broad political coalition of rank amateurs who would be lucky to get a seat on an English county council. So yes, to that extent I agree with you, now she’s checked out, the wheels are well and truly coming off the SNP clown car. And not before time.
