Gets to a point when the amount of skeletons in the closet means you can't get the door shut.

I think the SNP will suffer because of this, I don't agree with all of her policies but she is the best political leader in this country by far.

She is by far and away the most competent UK leader.

Yet the way she is talked about by the media, and by the average punters in English pubs, shows that misogyny is still rampant in this country.

I agree. This could have huge impacts on the next GE, in terms of Labour starting a recovery in Scotland.

The backlash over the Gender Recognition Bill is huge. She dismissed and demeaned people who claimed it would be taken advantage of by sex offenders, and then had to do a ridiculous back-pedal over the Isla Bryson case just days later.

Probably due to the corruption and financial scandal.

A lot of money missing and unaccounted for.

The GRA fallout won't have helped either.

Files on SNP's 'missing' £600K finally handed to prosecutors after 18 months

Nats have been keen to find out what happened to the cash that was supposedly raised to fund an independence campaign.

www.google.com

It's surprisingly not really been picked up much by the British media outside of Scotland.

The police started interviewing senior SNP figures about it on Monday.

She has done over 8 years as leader. That’s one helluva shift.
The trans debate must have taken its toll.

Maybe, she really has just had enough and needs to step down for her own well-being.

£600k is small fry compared with the money hovered up by certain Westminster politicians who have not resigned.

I dislike the thought of breaking up the UK, but at the same time I though that she came across well and generally did a good job.

There's a difference in scale of finances, bit the corrupt Westminster politicians should have resigned for their part in financial misconduct.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

But I'm sure that whatever the reason, it'll be span differently in her press conference.
If she says it's just because she's had enough, that will be because of the constant scandal swirling around the SNP in recent years.

A lot of it just doesn't get noticed because the Tory government in Westminster has been even more scandalous.

If this is anything to do with missing money, I doubt she has anything to do with it - could you imagine a Tory Leader resigning over dodgy dealings lol. Also, Corbyn will not be permitted to stand for Labour!!! If he stands as an independent in Islington, he will win in any case but from a lifelong Labour voter I won't be voting for them after the shoddy treatment of Corbyn. Green here I come.
