Something extraordinary has been happening in Scottish politics over the weekend, with the significance of the brewing civil war missed by most south of the border, especially Scheming Sturgeon fanatics in the MSM who continue to cover her leadership like a personality cult.
But there’s no way to sugar-coat the near total collapse of her SNP party, with Scottish separatism now a distant fantasy.
Sturgeon has failed.
The nationalists have fallen.
The union has been saved.
With just one week left until Queen Nic’s replacement as leader of the SNP is crowned, her legacy is assured to be more William Wallace than Robert the Bruce.
She leaves behind a party fractured by skulduggery over their membership numbers, their woke joke gender recognition bill, and a police probe into £600,000 of missing donations, which Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell is being urged to explain after his sudden resignation as party CEO.
After two decades where Sturgeon and Murrell had an iron grip on Scottish politics, the dominos are falling – and who knows what more is going to emerge.
The incessant spin has caught up on the arch manipulator, with even the SNP’s new chief executive Michael Russell admitting the party finds itself in a “tremendous mess”.
Now this is all good news, by the way.
And we don’t celebrate good news enough.
Sturgeon and the SNP now stand as the biggest political example of the mantra go woke, go broke.
Nicola Sturgeon announced she was quitting as First Minister last monthPAThis politician had become so cocky and arrogant – with her husband running the party – that she believed her members and the public no longer mattered.
When it came to sending male rapists to women's prisons and pushing through her dangerous and divisive Gender Recognition Reform Bill, enough was enough.
The party lost more than a third of its membership, with nearly 30,000 paid up supporters quitting, leaving just 72,000 to vote on the next leader.
Murrell seemed to want to cover it up to protect the legacy of his wife.
And Sturgeon was still trying to deny it today.
But no wonder.
Because she leaves office a failure.
Scottish drug deaths remain at a European high. The Scottish NHS and ambulance service are in a dire state. The education successes she begged to be judged on when she took the job never materialised.
Her chosen successor Humza Yousaf is, well, utterly useless.
And her dream of separatism is a mirage, a fantasy, a pipe dream.
So actually I want to thank Scheming Sturgeon for doing more to preserve our great United Kingdom than virtually any other leader in recent history.
