Nicola Sturgeon has done untold damage to Scotland and, ironically, her separatist cause, says Dan Wootton

Maybe just maybe the anti-English rhetoric that became so prevalent during the divisive and vicious reign of Scheming Sturgeon might be coming to an end.

Last night on the streets of Glasgow unionists came together to celebrate a truly seismic shift in Scottish politics…

But it’s not just a change in tone in Scotland that will emerge in the post-Sturgeon era, but potentially a massive change in policy too.

The extremists in the room like fox-bashing barrister Jolyon Maugham might be upping the rhetoric to dangerous levels, tweeting…

"I will be very sad to see Nicola Sturgeon's departure. But Westminster has made it very hard to see a peaceful way forward for the aspirations of many Scottish people for self-determination or even proper devolved government."

“Very hard to see a peaceful way forward”. Wow. What’s the alternative, sir?

But sensible Scots know such talk is foolish.

SNP chiefs have announced in the last few moments that they have postponed their special conference to choose Sturgeon's successor.

This was the conference that was set to rubber stamp Queen Nic’s deranged bid to turn the next general election into a referendum on separation, even as the country’s health and education system were plunged into deeper crisis by the day.

The party’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn made it clear this morning Sturgeon may remain in post for now, but her agenda is quickly being torn up…

Most significant is the likelihood is that some of Sturgeon’s woke extremism – including the sick Gender Recognition Reform Bill – might follow her out the door.

The Daily Telegraph reported today that sources in Holyrood have suggested a proposed legal challenge to the Westminster veto of the law – which would allow rapists and child abusers to self-ID BEFORE they face trial for their crimes – will now be quietly dropped “as quickly as possible”.

Meanwhile, Sturgeon’s SNP CEO husband Peter Murrell is facing increasing pressure to quit too, as negative headlines swirl around a police investigation into an alleged missing £600,000 in donations.

A topic Sturgeon refused to comment on during her press conference yesterday…

The Sturgeon era is now unravelling.

She has done untold damage to Scotland and, ironically, her separatist cause.
