I can't remember her name but a Scottish cabinet minister who has a baby recently and went on maternity leave? Kate someone?

Thanks. She will have been in power ten years late 2024 and nearly 11 and a half years by the 2026 Holyrood election. Is there a danger she will lose her magic touch while in office after all that time in power like Thatcher did?

Thanks. I do recall hearing some political journalists say on a podcast that on most issues Westminster veteoing a vote in Holyrood would have Scottish public opinion against them but they were doing some private polling that was apparently telling them on this specifiic issue Scottish public opinion would support the veto or overruling by Westminster. I suspect the polling informed Sunaks decision but it will be interesting to see if the polling claim of public support turns out to be accurate.

Dick Savitt a 'hit' for me in this pool. Forgot to mention earlier!

Or maybe could it cause a massive split amongst the SNP membership ? What twitter can tell us is limited but there do seem to be more supporters of Scottish independence saying on twitter etc that they think Nicola Sturgeon is not committed to a Scottish independence referendum and is stringing them along, Scathing in particular about her idea to use an election as a quasi referendum.

I do get the impression that more people in the SNP party membership but also their voters are starting to lose faith in Nicola Sturgeon and her ability to deliver Scottish independence.

Where do you think this saga will go?

Would Lisa Marie Presley fit your first prediction?
