He looked genuinely deflated like a balloon going down. I think Nicola Sturgeon over exaggerated a bit with the "well earned rest" part when she wrote to Jackie Bailie tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people need to ask Sturgeon if they qualify for a wee holiday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are that she can, she didn't have to ask Nicola for permission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very fact that they would even sink so low as to make a political weapon out of a terminally ill person during this time is beyond horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, if that person has sought the opinion of 2 party leaders then the potential for becoming part of the argument exists. I take your point but there may be others with similar conditions who will benefit from the response so irrespective of why he did it, there may be value in having raised it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched it on rewind, blustering on with his third question after expecting her to be shaken by his gotcha second question would have been hilarious in any other context. Heard the Green rep claiming that people quarantined in New Zealand got free hotel rooms and meals provided. That has changed, my sister has just left isolation there with a bill for NZ$3,100, about £1500. Classy Christchurch hotel though, with a top chef. They lent her an exercise bike for her room. P.S. There's another obvious reason why NZ is a bad parallel to use for people being told to self isolate. They closed off the borders almost immediately, so they have hardly any cases. The cost will be negligible compared to Scotland. Edited November 19, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's entirely on him. I can't believe he raised that at FMQs without getting in touch with her and saying "hey, I'd like to raise this with the First Minister, is that alright with you?" It's amateur hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely top trolling of wee Dickie there. Hope she has a good laugh about it sipping sangria on a beach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was nearly uniquely easy, and they acted very quickly.
