Nicola Sturgeons has finally got her independence.

"“With a heavy heart I am confirming that Peter and I have decided to end our marriage. To all intents and purposes we have been separated for some time now and feel it is time to bring others up to speed with where we are.

“It goes without saying that we still care deeply for each other, and always will. We will be making no further comment.”

Obvious PR announcement to deflect from poor Moira Salmond's dignified and sad plea at the weekend. The Murrell 'marriage' has been an open secret for years.

It’s not very dignified to pull apart someone’s marriage. Divorce sadly happens, but it’s a private matter.

It’s quite a tame response considering this posters views of Nicola.

I mean it could have been nasty….

Yes Aveline I agree re timing.
A ‘lavender’ marriage allegedly. Well talked about in Edinburgh apparently.

She and Peter Murrell are divorcing.
I wonder who gets to keep the campervan?

😂😂😂

Bit of a bitchy thread ....guessing that was your intention though

Oh, FGT, you are getting an undeservedly hard press, although i don't think it will bother you.

I don't have much respect for either of them., but then I don't believe in Scottish independence.

”and feel it is time to bring others up to speed with where we are"

Strange way of putting it. I'd prefer to be brought up to speed with a couple of convictions, thanks.

I'm totally with you FGT . I can't get my head round the "poor wee Nicola" posts on here, the woman is hard as nails and totally self-serving - and that's the opinion of my SNP-supporting BFF!

And my stepfather! 😂

And my stepfather! 😂

And me.

It amazes me that people think a marriage breaking up is an excuse for bitchy comments. Politics is one thing, say whatever you like about that, but the end of a marriage? Seriously?

PS I am not in any way invested in the SNP.

Oh for goodness’ sake!
I thought the camper van reference was quite funny- worthy of HIGNFY or Private Eye.
Some pearls are too readily clutched and virtue signalled

So what? She never did me any harm.

Still if it makes people happy, carry on.

Thanks Maw!

Anyway, I’m showing the same respect and integrity that she showed the Scottish voters.

Not to mention England.

That makes it alright then.

What has happened to that notorious campervan anyway?

I don't think she is a very honourable politician or person. I don't know enough about her husband, other than his arrest for alleged financial issues.
Her treatment and disregard of 51% of the Scottish population will be her lasting legacy.

No idea about the campervan Allira.
Maybe charges are imminent - hence the divorce statement?

Maybe one of them have hit the road in the camper van?

😂 it’s probably in a Police compound somewhere, depreciating in value. “Battle Bus” that never got used. All very strange.

It belongs to the SNP.
I think it is back with the Party but is only worth half its original value now.
