Nicola Sturgeon has said Boris Johnson is the only prime minister she has worked with who was “a disgrace to the office”.
Speaking at a panel event at the Edinburgh fringe on Saturday afternoon, hosted by broadcaster Ayesha Hazarika, she said: “I disagreed with David Cameron, I disagreed with Theresa May, I disagreed with Boris Johnson, but he’s the only one who’s actually disgraced the office of prime minister. The sooner he’s gone, the better.”
Sturgeon said the idea that parties were taking place during the Covid-19 pandemic “blew her mind”. “The idea that this could have happened while the rest of the country was going through the horrors of it really blows my mind,” she told audience members.
“Parties themselves are bad enough, but it was the lying, frankly, and the constant attempt to shift the goalposts and the narrative. He was a disgrace, let’s be honest.”
Four prime ministers have been in Downing Street since Sturgeon took office in 2014 and she joked to audience members she never thought she would “look back fondly” on Theresa May as prime minister. » | PA Media | Saturday, August 13, 2022
BoJo has not been only a disgrace to the office of prime minister, he has also been a joke. A sick joke. Liz Truss looks to be even worse. The Conservative Party is ailing. It should go the way of the Whigs: into oblivion! The whole party is a made up of fossils. Relics from a bygone age.
The best thing Nicola Sturgeon can do is convince her fellow countrymen that the time has come to secede from the United Kingdom. The Scots need independence. They need to rejoin the European Union in their own right, as an independent country. They should view that 500m+ market of consumers. The country cannot fail as an independent nation within the EU. Leave this sinking ship, once and for all time! Bonne chance ! – © Mark Alexander
