        Sturgeon seems to care more about the lives of Scots than anyone in Downing St does.

        Maybe she is trying to cover up the fact that the Scottish NHS is much closer to collapse than NHS England.

        Yep, this is exactly what it's all about and it's about time the SNP get called out on it. Typical ugly nationalism.

        On many occasions I’d have agreed with you as I’m no supporter of independence. However on this occasion it’s Boris that’s creating the problem yet again.

        She just loves creating division and vitriol. She is completely odious and I have no idea why Scottish people put their votes anywhere near her
