Nicola Sturgeon said she’s `not going anywhere’. At least she acknowledges her abysmal leadership of Scotland. EDDIE MCNEILL, Fauldhouse, West Lothian
“The only campaign to call out Sturgeon’s COP26 selfie barrage”
Scotland Matters made its name in the 2021 Holyrood election when we led the tactical voting campaign that Sir John Curtice credited with stopping the SNP landslide. We used billboards, advertising and social media to reach an estimated ONE MILLION people.
We did a similar, shorter, campaign for the recent COP26, rightly predicting that Nicola Sturgeon would use the event to advance her personal and party profile. How right we were; 65 selfies and counting!
Our campaign to get the SNP defeated at the 2022 Council elections starts in January. We’re running out of money, please help us to STOP THE SNP AND TAKE INDYREF2 OFF THE AGENDA.

Rosemary Goring (“Let’s hope Nicola Sturgeon stays on as First Minister – for all our sakes”, November, 24) has obviously been living in a vastly different Scotland to me since 2014. She is lauding Nicola Sturgeon as some sort of top world leader who Scotland needs “for all our sakes”. The only aspect of failure for the First Minister according to Ms Goring has been in education, which has been “underwhelming … and woefully lacking”. The majority of Scots will wholeheartedly agree – but education is not the only failure for Ms Sturgeon. There has been failure after failure, far too many to list here, all apparently forgotten about during Covid. Ms Goring needs to remember that in virtually every election in Scotland since 2014, local and Holyrood, pro-Union votes outnumber pro-separatist votes and, come another referendum, given current statistics, the same will apply. Nicola Sturgeon is fully aware of this, hence her desire to deny supporters a vote and maintain her lucrative tenure for as long as possible. Just a pity that supporters are so gullible.

THE SNP administration really needs to get its house in order and tell Prestwick Airport bosses to pay its staff the real living wage instead of the current £8.91 being advertised for security staff. The real living wage is currently £9.90 and was £9.50 an hour when the advertisement was placed. How on earth can the SNP encourage Scottish employers to pay a real living wage when they can’t even pay staff at Prestwick Airport, which is a company wholly owned by the Scottish Government?
