I watched FM's questions at lunch time and didn't think she was rattled at all Jim. She saw out the whole FMQ session fairly comfortably TBH. I'd say she was more irritated by some of the shit that Baroness Ruth the unelected mooth was uttering and the clear political agenda that is attached to Tory utterances - one Tory prat, Mundell, was yesterday ejected from the chamber by The Speaker, for "crossing a red line" and refusing to apologise!! Sturgeon's assertion that she has consistently offered an oral representation to the investigative parliamentary committee but the offer never taken up yet certainly looked like a genuine one. I personally think there is a bigger issue re the role of the SNP NEC and the members within this group at a defining moment when choosing SNP candidates to contest constituency seats for next May's Scottish election, an election that all OP indicators point towards a significant SNP victory. Therefore there will be a lotta careerist politicians, and others, trying to attach themselves to this kinda "gravy train" in which I, as an indy supporter but never a member of any political party, would cynically question the motives of some of these people and their "real politics", values and aspirations in securing an MSP's annual salary of £64470 that is not "to be scoffed at".
