Reply to comment by LaloTwins in Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister by icumglass
It 100% isn’t.
She addressed this in her announcement press conference. You expect setbacks in politics, it comes with the job.
She’s been First Minister for eight years - longer than anyone before. She was deputy FM for 8 years before that. She led the country through Covid.
Her energy for the job is just gone. It’s understandable.

I mean, I think it’s fair to say the UK intervention on their gender recognition bill very well may have played a role in that and/or her recognition that it’s time to move on so someone with more energy can pick up the fight.
I think calling it “100% the trans thing” is wrong, but “100% it isn’t” doesn’t really ring true either. It may be a minor factor, but I do think it hd a very real impact.

Sorry, but she was straight-up asked this question and said ‘no’.
