'Many of Trump's comments deeply abhorrent'

Good for her....calling a spade a spade. Not a hint of hypocrisy, when is more than you can say for most Tory politicians.

[anneasquith]

Oh please, she is the elected leader of the sottish national party.I don't think she will disappear, or maybe she will ? :-)

[murraymints]

she is the first minister in parliament and that is the role she plays there..she is NOT there to impose her and her party's will upon the people who have already given her the remit for Holyrood

Perhaps someone should demand another vote on who is "leeeaader of the Scottish parley mount.

[murraymints]

she is rubbing a lot of Holyrood members up the wrong way at the moment..not least because of the latest Chinese debacle..Nicola speaks for Nicola...not for Scotland

name calling is OK for Mugabe

[jourdain2]

As a very interested outsider, it seems to me that minty has got it about right.

[Togo]

Mugabe? Ebagum lad.

load of old pony as usual from Jimmy K. Us in the BOTD won't fall for all this HS.

TTT, I really wish you'd stop with the cryptic messages. Your posts would have far more impact if the reader could understand what you're talking about. As it is I don't know whether I agree with you or not.

[ladybirder]

I can guess what the HS is. BOTD?? Back of the ...? Bottom of the ....?

[naomi24]

Ladybirder, I've lost the will to try to guess. Pity really. TTT has strong views but due to his peculiar penchant for writing in incomprehensible language, consistently fails to convey them.

//In place of a well worded logical and rational argument, sling some mud.//

Doesn't that just sum up your style and isn't it exactly what you are doing on this thread?

Your heading relates to a speech made by Nicola Sturgeon following the election of Donald Trump as the US president but your supporting comment is directed against the Tory party.

Her speech did not mention the Tory party at all.

It follows that (not for the first time) you have taken a totally unconnected event and used it as a vehicle for an unsubstantiated rant against the Tory party.

[TTG]

She is trying to alienate one of the most powerful men in the world. Amatuer politics.

[ToraToraTora]

I'd have thought all you Hillary fans would have recognized BOTD straight away! Basket Of The Deplorable.

[tamborine]

Nicola should remember how much smaller Scotland is than USA and even UK's insignificance comparatively. We NEED USA more than they need UK.
