“Exercise that patience, build the case, win the arguments” Nicola Sturgeon has been speaking on the 10th anniversary of the independence referendum The former First Minister remains certain Scotland will become independent well within her lifetime

The former FM says she regrets not delivering another vote during her time in office but adds there was no magical way of breaching the Westminster wall of democracy denial She also believes there’ll be a healthy realignment of the UK including an Irish reunification

Current First Minister John Swinney will mark the anniversary by addressing Yes activists in Edinburgh this morning But @ScotTories Chair @CraigWHoy1 says it’s to move on from a “lost decade” under the SNP

@CraigWHoy1 “It’s just not a big priority for voters” Polling expert @markdiffley1 says support for independence has plateaued over the last couple of years But he says the bigger problem for campaigners is where a referendum is on people’s list of priorities

@NicolaSturgeon This vile narcissistic bitch has destroyed Scotland and the dreams of the separatists. Why do the MSM give it the time of day?

@NicolaSturgeon Desperate stuff wheeling out the most toxic person in Scotland , jeezo 😳

@NicolaSturgeon There are no words to express the anger and contempt I have for this narcissistic piece of work. She seriously failed and screwed over the people of Scotland and will NEVER be forgiven for that. Her fall continues and yet the MSM give her this sort of coverage. Disgusting!!

@NicolaSturgeon Sturgeon betrayed the YES movement and set back the cause of an independent Scotland by two decades. We’re facing the return of a Labour Scottish Government because of her shameful capitulation. She sacrificed independence in favour of gender identity politics. She is a disgrace.

@NicolaSturgeon Why is that evil little witch even getting air time. Single handedly she destroyed everything good in Scotland

@NicolaSturgeon Sturgeon talking her usual cult mince: "...no magical way of breaching the Westminster wall of democracy denial". Fact is Westminster accommodated the SNP in 2014 with an agreed 'once in a generation referendum' which Sturgeon signed up to. She knew that when she took over as FM.
