Nothing to celebrate

NICOLA Sturgeon is receiving a lot of congratulations on becoming the longest-serving First Minister. Fine up to a point – but what is missing is mention of the divisiveness of her time in office.

Scotland is split into two camps – for and against independence.

And a perfect storm of problems – railways, ferries, roads, health, education and the economy – can all be laid at Miss Sturgeon’s door. Is this really the time to be celebrating her time in office?
