The Spin

Left narrative

Sturgeon’s decision to step down marks the end of an extraordinary era in Scottish politics. A trailblazer for progressive policies, her unwavering dedication to Glasgow Southside and Scotland’s future will leave a lasting legacy. Though leaving elected office, her passion for equality and independence will undoubtedly continue to inspire as she opens a new chapter in her career.

Right narrative

Sturgeon’s decision to step down as an MSP is another overdue move. After resigning as First Minister, she continued to cling to influence despite her divisive policies and numerous scandals. Her tenure was marked by opportunism, incompetence, and a disregard for real public concerns. With her finally out of Scottish politics, the nation can begin to recover from her damaging legacy.
