Ignore Nicola Sturgeon. She’s just an attention seeker.

She is completely and utterly nuts. I don't know any other way to put it.

She doesn't have an ounce (or even a gram /gramme ) of credibility. And several thousand elderly tory party members are going to make her our PM

Shes bonkers if that's any help.

I just posted on another thread about this.If this is Truss or Tory 's idea of how democracy should work we need to get the hell out of the cesspit fast .Truss and her "amazing deals" has destroyed industries and will flood the country with substandard food etc as for HER getting the tarrifs in the US taken off Whisky I think Joe Biden would tell a different story.
Surely there aren't that many eegits in England who believe her fairy tales
I for one am sticking with Sturgeon a woman who knows whats needed and does withing the strict confines of a fixed budget for the good of the people of Scotland Inependence is Normal ,handing over your income and getting pocket money from your neighbour while they pillage your recourses isn't !

This may be the straw that makes the whole of Scotland get behind independence. Voting any other way would mean supporting what we’re currently being served up.
Voted in by Tory party members is sad, but I’m not sure I agree with the ‘elderly’ reference. If elderly people’s views are seen as rubbish, where does that put many GNs views?

I think it puts them where they belong...

Darren Grimes is rooting for Truss, so, I believe, is Tom Harwood . There are some very deluded young people too...

Liz Truss, the best argument for Scottish Independence yet. So rude and undiplomatic. Apologies to NS and Scotland. Please don't judge us all by her standards. Absolutely shocking.

She has lost the plot, if she ever had it in the first place, which I doubt. She’s also said that she will restore the BOGOF deals, thus throwing away any attempt to persuade the public to eat more healthily. Nightmare woman.

So if you’re ‘elderly’ your views don’t count?
I wonder how many ‘elderly’ people support Nicola Sturgeon?

Every time I see the words 'Miss Truss'...I want to put a 't' on the end.

And I’m certain many people in Scotland think NS is an attention seeker. We don’t take much notice of her down here.

No, only if you're an elderly member of the tory party. Who are plainly without any judgement at all if they support Truss...

The rest of us are fine...

The whole leadership competition has been a race to the bottom of a particularly rancid barrel.

Truss’s proposals grow increasingly deluded, and what is worrying is that Tory members (and maybe non-member voters) think this level of inadequate and vitriolic rhetoric is a good thing.

I find this whole voting for a new PM quite unbelievable. Sunak is being held up as the baddie because he was at the forefront of getting rid of the lying and inept PM. So Truss is now the golden girl on whom the country must pin its hopes! She seems to me a slighter brighter (?) version of Nadine Dorries.

This I find worrying

The woman set to be prime minister next month plans to CUT the wages of nurses, teachers, paramedics, police officers & fire fighters outside the south east.

General strike here we come. Not that she has the power to cut the wages of public sector workers in Scotland or the other nations, it’s devolved. Next thing she will probably declare she is withdrawing funding to devolved nations, and getting rid of the Scottish, Welsh and NI governments altogether.

So the shrinking violet Truss thinks that Sturgeon is an attention seeker ?
Just when you think this farce can’t get any worse……
unbelievable behaviour from a prospective leader, who will be negotiating our future on the world stage.

I cannot believe that any Scots won’t want to divorce themselves as quickly as possible from a country with Truss in charge, and who has shown what she thinks of their democratically elected head.

When the break happens I’m getting a Scottish passport and I’m outa here.

I do far far far more than truss sunak gove ex ex and I’m English. She’s not perfect but she’s a lot better !

DP and I were talking about potential Sturgeon/Truss meetings this morning. Nicola's going to have to call on all of her skills so as not to make Truss look like an idiot, but quite how she does that when Truss will do all the heavy lifting herself god knows.

I think that if (almost certainly when) she becomes PM she will quickly be overwhelmed by the serious issues facing the country and not have time or space for the ridiculous policies she is promising to Tory members.
I can't see her having the judgement, stamina or pragmatism to cope with the role of PM. The shitshow that she is inheriting will be beyond anyone but the most able and collegiate of people and she surely ain't that.

So rude to be so dismissive - shows a complete lack of diplomacy.

I'd rather have Ms Sturgeon as PM than Ms Truss any day, and just am at a loss to understand why all the other contenders are backing her.

Oh God, it just gets better.

Quote from MSP Murdo Fraser this morning about referendums:

Liz Truss is far more in tune on Scottish opinion on this issue than Nicola Sturgeon.

48% of the voting public in Scotland support Nicola Sturgeon maybe they are as delusional as the Tory party members who support Liz Truss in England.
Look at the SNP's record on Health Care,
Education standards once the gold standard of the United Kingdom.
Drug deaths in Scotland the highest in Europe.

I've suggested swops with Scotland before, but this is a great opportunity
BOGOF deal swop you Truss and Sunak for Sturgeon any day

And I’m certain many people in Scotland think NS is an attention seeker. We don’t take much notice of her down here.

Where is down here? Australia? Antarctica? Hell?
Attention seeking? Is the culprit a naughty child?
So many questions, so little talent in the prospective PM pool and yet people are supportive of the witterings of Truss. Unbelievable, really.
