A BATTLE between Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond is heating up after a Holyrood Committee investigating the Scottish government s mishandling of harassment complaints against him voted not to publish a revised submission containing bombshell claims against the Scottish First Minister.
But MSPs have today said that the Scottish First Minister is overstepping the mark and collectively voiced the FM should step down from fronting them after she raised the issue during FMQs today.
They claim Nicola Sturgeon should be replaced by a medical or science expert in the Scottish Government daily briefings, as they could give her an unfair election advantage.
Holyrood is set to be dissolved on March 25, ahead of the elections on May 6 which leaves a six-week pre-election period or purdah period.
During FMQs today, the First Minister referred to when Scottish Labour interim leader Jackie Baillie met with former BBC Scotland director Donalda McKinnon to address the issue.
SNP ministers have pledged to stay aligned to the EU after Tory UK politicians said British participation in Erasmus+ would not be in the interest of UK taxpayers .
He concluded in his piece for CapX: It is that subsidy that allows Holyrood to maintain a much more socialist economic model than would be the case if Scotland had to fend for itself. The English are putting up with Scottish dependence and periodic hissy fits because of a deep emotional commitment to the Union by a succession of British leaders. That is an emotion I fully share, yet I also believe that independence is exactly what Scotland needs in order to rid the birthplace of Adam Smith of socialism once and for all – after a brutal but necessary learning experience, like Slovakia’s.
