Published today!!

In this new article in The Political Quarterly, I analyse how Nicola Sturgeon spent her time as First Minister of Scotland.

To whom and what did she give her time as FM — which issues and interest groups had access and proximity? Which didn't?

I went through two years of Ministerial diaries, cross-referenced with the Lobbying Register and FOI publications, to find out.

@NationCymru OHO! This has a huge upside.

She can now stand as an MSP at the next , and at some point, stand for Leader of the (, if they retain power that long).

And she WOULD take us out of the toxic "Union."

No fucking around appeasing another country's laws preventing us from even trying.

Fear and the flag is all the have left at this stage. They have no positive message about the future. It is always 'no' with these tw*ts, which is so depressing. They want to take us back to pre 1969 when everything was done for their benefit.

The loss of the position was another blow to them. They lost the majority at Stormont, then Westminster and then they lost Dodds as an MP. They never recovered.

They really don't know what to do!

Is Michelle O'Neill being very clever in attending the Coronation? Will this marginalise Jeff more?

Thoughts, ladies x

I honestly think this goes back to the mistake that #Sinnfein made over not taking part in the late Queen's visit to Ireland in 2011. Which is widely accepted as a re-set in Anglo-Irish relations. They don't want to make that mistake again.

I think this is MON doing exactly what she said would when became #FirstMinister in waiting - a First Minister for all. She is extending the hand of friendship once again.

This will make #Jeff look rather petty once again. He

@Geri @harriettmb

is incapable of pushing himself out of his comfort zone. He won't even accept the outcome of an election, he won't let a government be formed because he can't share power when an Irish Republican is .

It will confirm the belief that everyone has to move to suit Jeff but he isn't prepared to move even an inch to help move forward.

Fair play to Michelle and President Higgins, they are both attending the Kings Cornation.

The Unionists can't complain now.

Arlene Foster is a hypocrite! She objected to , she left the Unionist party that signed up to the . However, as leader of the ,
she happily accepted the role as in the institutions brought about by the

She is no longer a politician. When she was one she was terrible. She is better suited to her new role as commentator the pretend 'news' channel

She is no peacemaker and should be called out for it.
