Grubby politics

-

EUAN McColm (Mail) is right to point out the hypocrisy of Nicola Sturgeon when she accused Labour leader Kezia Dugdale of politicisi­ng the story of a woman’s fight for cancer drugs.

When it suits her, Miss Sturgeon likes to play the First Minister card, hinting she’s above grubby politics and speaking for ‘all of Scotland’.

It’s nonsense. She is, foremost, leader of the SNP. Trying to duck legitimate criticism by pretending it is just politicall­y motivated sniping is an old Nationalis­t tactic that the public see right through.

The NHS in Scotland is not faring well on your watch, Miss Sturgeon, and blaming your opponents simply for raising it is cowardly. karen black, Bridge of Weir,
