/in Local elections 2022, Nicola Sturgeon, Politics Matters, Scottish Government, SNP, STV News /by sm_adminLetters to the press, 17/05/22: “The Scottish Government urgently needs to change its direction.

/in Daily Express, Glasgow Matters, John Swinney, Local elections 2022, Nicola Sturgeon, Politics Matters, Scottish Government, SNP, The West Coast Matters, United Kingdom /by sm_adminLetters to the press, 10/05/22: “Nicola Sturgeon urged voters to “Send Boris a message” and opinion polls forecast a 44% vote share. In fact, the SNP got 34%. Only 641,000 – one in seven – of Scotland’s 4.3m voters voted SNP. Scotland’s “message to Boris” is: Scexit has been eclipsed by Covid, economic crisis and war, and dogged by SNP incompetence, scandals and cover-ups. It is running out of steam and into the buffers of voter anger and apathy”
