Nicola Sturgeon's career timeline as First Minister resigns

Nicola Sturgeon has resigned as First Minister after eight years in what she described as “the best job in the world.” She will leave office as the longest-serving and inaugural female First Minister since the creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, remembered for the fight for Scottish independence and tackling the Covid-19 pandemic. Since she assumed the role, Sturgeon has worked with five different prime ministers south of the border. Her time in office has not been without criticism; her ambition of an independent Scotland never came to fruition under her leadership. The government has also faced strong a strong backlash over the NHS’ struggles to recover from the impact of the pandemic, with soaring waiting times in emergency departments. #politics #sturgeon #nicolasturgeon #scotland #news More here: https://i.stv.tv/3IqpzXq
