Coming down hard on Celtic FC today which won’t be doing her any good - as has been covered on here before the Venn diagram of CFC/independence/Anglophobia/SNP support has a pretty big overlap between all four.

That's no problem.

With her mahoosive lead in the polls, a few hundred thousand votes here or there won't make any difference.

All the Celtic fans I know seem to be angry with the club as opposed to the Government.

Some on Twitter are angry at Rangers as opposed to the Government, naturally

Her face when the question came up. Despite the camera not doing a close up of her.... She was spitting feathers

Not sure why she gets any airtime at all outside of scotland.

Mmm Two committees she needs to give or make up evidence to. One for each face?

Aside from knowing she's in the st, I'm not following the detail of her demise that closely.

When are the watershed dates when this is all likely to blow up in her face?

I believe Wobbletop is to appear before the committee on 19th January, with Soapy Bob appearing the following week on the 26th. Industrial quantities of popcorn will be required.

The problem is that the standard of questioning is not good.

She is good at answering general and "anticipated" questions.

She is hopeless at thinking on her feet as the Marr interview showed. That's what's needed. She will be word perfect on her excuse for the confusion....

And what happens after the the 26th?

I genuinely did try and google so not just being lazy.

That really depends on the evidence, or lack thereof, presented to the enquiry. If Wobbleheid has been found to have lied to parliament or breached the Ministerial Code, then her position is untenable and she will have no choice but to resign. Hence her fauxrage today at the Sky News journalist for asking a slightly difficult question during the daily propaganda programme.

I subscribe to the view that she could not make the events of this morning any worse. And I need not see her every day.

And my complaint is in relation to an "annointed" East Ren school. Best schools in the country my arse.

I went to one of them. And it was the best in the country my higher year.

Probably gone downhill now though.

How common is it for there to be judicial reviews of government decisions?

Interesting choice of words there ... “I’ll put my recollection...”

Not, I’d suggest the words of someone who KNOWS they have done nothing wrong

Not common enough, but the link doesn't seem to be working

This article in today's mail suggests this months testimonies have been delayed due to covid with no specific date offered.

I wonder if Alex has more cards, why hasn't already played them in his statement. It's a detailed legal argument and would be odd to omit key evidence from it? As things stand it seems unconvincing, looking at past resignations over code, this will get over the threshold.

Trying to be as objective as possible here, but just on the surface, it seems the odds are in sturgeon's favour of making it to the election, if it happens.

So you keep saying!

However, your objectivity on the matter is fallacious. You are a flag waver for Sturgeon of that there can be no doubt. Whether that is in an official capacity or just your personal preference is moot.

So give me the counter?

She didn't like the Sky question at lunch time!!

If looks could kill.

I think every journo should use the briefing to ask questions only about the Salmond matter.

Pretty sure that would get her off the TV pronto.

She could then fix the absolute mess that is home schooling if this morning is anything to go by....

Home schooling was a disaster because the bloody platform couldn't cope. I believe it made the national use, a Microsoft glitch? I had all my lessons ready to go, sat by computer in school to teach as live then could not upload anything from Teams nor could my pupils from assignments. Seems to be better today, two lessons in minimal glitches

That's good to hear.

Would you mind telling me how many hours of live teaching you are undertaking per week?
