Nicola Sturgeon will lead the SNP into the Scottish election on May 6 in the hope of winning a majority Government that would pile pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to cave to her demands for a second referendum on Scottish independence. The First Minister has insisted her party will press ahead with a second independence vote should it win a majority at the Holyrood elections in just over two months time. But away from her campaign for Scottish independence, Ms Sturgeon is coming under intense pressure from a number of quarters.

Nicola Sturgeon has cut a divisive figure across UK politics over the years. Wildly popular over the border in Scotland, her campaigns for another independence referendum have sparked the highest ever support for the movement, as she pushes to hold another IndyRef2. Now Ms Sturgeon faces an inquiry into whether she misled Holyrood when it comes to the investigation into former first minister Alex Salmond.

Law professor Alistair Bonnington; degeneration of the Crown into what appears to be a lickspittle arm of the current SNP Government .
Tory MSP Murdo Fraser: What this whole sorry story tells us is that we now have a Scottish government simply not fit for purpose.
