Get on with governing

Sir, - Nicola Sturgeon will seize any opportunity to twist and misrepresent a situation in order to raise the only policy in which she is interested: independence for Scotland. Brexit is the latest opportunity.

She does not consider that Scotland’s economic situation is even worse now than it was at the time of the last referendum. All the other issues remain the same.

She does not consider that Brexit might actually be good for Scotland and that it was supported at the referendum by one million Scots.

Mathias Dopfner, the distinguished German head of the Axel Springer organisation told the Financial Times recently that within three to five years he expects Britain, after Brexit, to be better off than all its former EU partners.

I wish Ms Sturgeon would turn her mind to running the affairs of Scotland properly and how to benefit from a Scotland within a post-Brexit UK. Ranald Noel-Paton. Pitcurran, Abernethy.
