Excellent questioning by @C4Ciaran, who shows remarkable patience in dealing with Sturgeon's blustering, condescension and misdirection. pic.twitter.com/M8YS4PNVSG

Channel 4's Ciaran Jenkins explains to Nicola Sturgeon that a general election is not substitute for a referendum and cannot be used as a mandate to demand that Scotland leaves the UK.
Meanwhile Jim Sillars, a former SNP deputy leader, tells his party:
"It’s time to cease wallowing in grudge and grievance, stop pretending that Scotland is a colony. We were as enthusiastic colonisers as any Englishman ever was."Jim Has Fixed It (November 25, 2022)
Jim Sillars provides a plain spoken answer to the grudge and grievance politics of the current SNP leadership - build a reputation for competent, even-handed government which puts the wider public interest ahead of narrow party interests.
Problem is the SNP operate like a gang these days and their reputation for sound government has disappeared after successive scandals over ghost ferries, the census farce, Scottish education, NHS waiting times and Scotland's drugs deaths record.
