At stake is not just the future of Scotland’s First Minister & who leads the campaign for independence. What is also under scrutiny is the behaviour of Scotland’s government, parliament & legal system and the balance of power between them

The two leading figures in the drive for Scottish independence had already fallen out about how to secure that prize & how to respond to Boris Johnson’s refusal to agree to another referendum.

Sturgeon claims that her old mentor is angry because she "did not collude with him" to make the sexual harassment allegations "go away". She says he has provided no evidence of a conspiracy against him.

Salmond accuses Sturgeon, her husband – who is also Chief Executive of the SNP - & her chief of staff - of conspiring to fabricate & exaggerate the allegations of sexual misconduct against him
Nick Robinson Thu 25 Feb 2021 08:51

In court Salmond was cleared of 13 charges of sexually harassing women who worked for him. However, he did admit to inappropriate behaviour - touching, kissing and cuddling women who were on his staff late at night when he was drunk.

Alex Salmond (ex First Minister & face of YES in the 2014 referendum) is accusing Nicola Sturgeon (FM now & the other face of YES) – of misleading Parliament & misusing the power of govt to frustrate an enquiry into how allegations of sexual harassment were investigated
Nick Robinson Thu 25 Feb 2021 08:51

It is the story of the break up of a friendship between the two most powerful politicians in Scotland which could frustrate those who want to see the break up of the UK & the birth of an independent Scotland.

In case you find this story hard to follow & harder to care about here's a thread about what it's really about. This is a story about sex & power and the future of the United Kingdom

A friend & ally of @AlexSalmond tells @BBCr4today that : “If it was proven there was a conspiracy (to do him in) everybody involved in the conspiracy would be getting their jotters”. In other words @AlexNeilSNP is saying that @NicolaSturgeon & her allies would have to quit

Whilst the timetable is more cautious than many businesses & Tory MPs wanted @BorisJohnson's rejection of #ZeroCovid signals that he is prepared to treat COVID more like flu from the Summer ie accepting that there will be infections, hospitlisations & deaths

49 days until that first visit to the pub, the shops and a haircut. 84 days until you can see friends & family indoors, go to a movie, a play or a match. 110 days until you can see who you like where you like. Does that leave you excited or disappointed, reassured or frustrated?

Just watched wonderful live theatre from @AlmeidaTheatre. Wanted to jump up from my sofa & run down the road to applaud great performances by @AdrianLester & @DannySapani and @Lolitachakra for her powerful new play Hymn. Can’t wait to be back inside one day soon https://t.co/MTTbJksc8c

So does @NicolaSturgeon disagree? Or does her promise to pursue a Covid “elimination” strategy mean driving the virus down to very low levels and not eliminating it ?
