Wee Nippy got her 3 minutes on the telly - (because she needs more airtime) praising Sean.

All any Scot wants is sun and warmth. Give them that and they'll follow you into the Darien Gap.
What will Sturgeon do in response to England’s nationwide lockdown? She’s normally creaming in her pants at the prospect of outdoing the restrictions in England & Wales so I wonder if she now puts the whole country in tier 4? She said on Twitter today that she won’t change course but with the likes of Prof Sridhar in her ear I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a u-turn.

That makes no sense what so ever.I’d post a copy of the note she has put out tonight, but there isn’t much point because more folk on here wouldn’t actually read it, and simply confirm their preconceived views. In summary, the note says the plan in Scotland stays the same.

Oh dear. It would seem the architects of the new "Plan B" to essentially declare the forthcoming Holyrood election as a proxy for an independence referendum, have had their proposal shot down in flames by the internal SNP machine.

Mr McEleny is a bit of a junior Spart, he fancies that the way to an independent life of reilly is to enact protectionist law and not bother with pesky competition with 'furrin' companies in 'that England'.Article said:
An SNP councillor has said a debate at the party conference on a so-called ‘plan B’ for delivering independence has been blocked.
Chris McEleny, who backs an alternative strategy, said he was “bitterly disappointed” at the decision.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon ’s independence strategy is based on securing a joint agreement with the UK Government on a referendum.
Mr McEleny is definitely on the radical fringe of the party, and has not been an emphatic endorser of the present 'leadership', nor indeed has Angus Brenda the schoolgirl chaser. Where do the SNP find these cretins?Chris McEleny, who backs an alternative strategy, said he was “bitterly disappointed” at the decision.

Never one to miss an opportunity, of course Sturgeon will leave things as they are until the first review of the tiers is due (which IIRC is basically as soon as In the meantime this gives her an excuse to impose travel bans to and from England - Sean Clarkin's head will explode at the excitement.

She's been ominously quiet today....
I wonder if she doesn't get her way to use the furlough money as she sees fit at a later time whether she will move everyone to level 4? Politically difficult given her pronouncements last week. Moreover, it looks like she would be doing as she was told by London.
Interesting to see how this plays out.

Been thinking exactly the same. The 'more caring, more sharing' Sturgeon is about to be left very exposed.I wonder if she doesn't get her way to use the furlough money as she sees fit at a later time whether she will move everyone to level 4?

Sorts quite alright for Johnson to preform a (warranted) screeching Uturn based on the data but not Sturgeon. OK, that’s fine then.In the meantime this gives her an excuse to impose travel bans to and from England - Sean Clarkin's head will explode at the excitement.

By the sound of it England has put in place a travel ban, so Scotland won’t need to.

Very misleading tweet that doesn’t appear to reflect the article. No. 11 isn’t going to write a blank cheque for any of the devolved governments.
We've now got three weeks until Greater Glasgow & Clyde health board runs out of ICU beds according to government forecasts, tier three starts today and it's essentially "no change" compared to existing Central Belt restrictions; the virus appears to have a 2-3 week cycle (infection > incubation > symptoms) so change would need to come this week to alter the path of the infection in time. The SG could apply tier 4 nationwide and bring us in to line with English restrictions that are supposed to come into force on Thursday allowing furlough scheme extension until 2nd December at the earliest: do they start it on Thursday in line with England?
