SNP figures call for Nicola Sturgeon to relax grip on the party and want party chief husband Peter Murrell to go

Reflect carefully says she – what she needs to do is apologise to the nation for dragging its economy to the point of recession because of her and her husband Peter’s obsession with indyref2, and then they should both resign. – Inveron38 If Nicola had been acting like a mature statesmanlike politician, genuinely trying to work with the Westminster government for the good of Scotland, she would, even now, be in a great position to play the king-maker and deal with May for a strong place at the cabinet for a Scottish MP. Unfortunately, her obsessive hatred of the Tories and histrionics have put her beyond the pale. – Sceptical I’m beginning to wonder whether May or Sturgeon will be the first to quit. – Captain Sarcasm Give up his job as SNP chief executive? Would that leave a vacancy? A possible job for Alex Salmond? – Fred Aberdeenshire The loss of overall control of ‘YES city’ Dundee at the May council elections must have been a warning, surely? –Alan89
