Nicola Sturgeon has faced criticism from opposition parties after using Twitter to defend an Snp-commission­ed economic report. The First Minister had launched a staunch defence of the SNP’S Growth Commission Report amid growing anger from left-wing independen­ce supporters that it is a blueprint for years of austerity. The Growth Commission Report will help build a successful independen­t Scotland, opines Nicola Sturgeon, forgetful of the outrageous­ly silly SNP mantra that it’s only everybody else who talk about independen­ce.

Worldwide football fan Further to the SNP’S long awaited 354-page Growth Commission­s Report of detailed arguments on how an independen­t Scotland could boost its economy, should they not also produce a 354 page Growth Commission­s Report on how Scotland can boost its economy by remaining part of the United Kingdom? Simply on the basis that the acting administra­tion is meant to look after all of Scotland not just the minority and this would provide some balance?

LR2018 The SNP don’t do balance. They will start that once we are independen­t and have arrived in hell in a handcart.

Mike Allan Sturgeon reminds me of an octopus. Her tentacles invest every aspect of Scottish life. But when pinned down and asked to answer a serious question she releases a cloud of ink and disappears.

Persona Non Grata “Independen­ce is a better option than sticking with Westminste­r system that created the deficit”. I suppose it’s all those nasty Barnett consequent­ials that create the deficit. Perhaps it’s time she asked Westminste­r to stop sending them.

Reality Demands To Be Heard If the SNP is so hungry for economic success and so competent, so nimble and creative, why have we seen no sign of it in the last ten years? She is such an insult to our intelligen­ce. It’s just infuriatin­g.

WR Sturgeon on manic mode on Twitter, seven numbered tweets on the report... the usual tripe! No details, but sound bites... is her real name Donaldina?
