Alex Salmond accuses Nicola Sturgeon of 'throwing away' support for independence

Alex Salmond has accused Nicola Sturgeon of "throwing away" momentum for Scottish independence by pushing through gender recognition reforms at Holyrood.

The survey was carried out at the same time as a row over the imprisonment of double rapist Isla Bryson was raging in Scotland. The saga led to Scottish Justice Secretary Keith Brown pausing the movement of transgender prisoners into women’s jails if they have a history of violence. In a video clip shared widely on Twitter, the former First Minister said: "But to get to a position where you say to a majority of our people that you cannot have single-sex spaces – prized and worked and strived for – because of some daft ideology imported from elsewhere and, as we’ve seen imperfectly understood by its proponents in Scotland, borders on the totally absurd.

Alex Salmond is a sex pest His opinion counts for nothing

Let's be clear here. He's openly admitting that at the time of the Indy vote in 2014, he knew he didn't have the votes

She’s turned into those east European communist leaders who think they are untouchable due to the support apparatus provided by the communist party!

What a pair… of fannies.

All his hard work down the drain? Ah well, sleepy cuddles time...😁

That because when she is booted out she will in turn come out……

I for one hope that the SNP support? As Alec calls it? Put their crosses at the name of a real political person when we have a new election? Let Scotland get back 2 HONEST sensible governing with real policies. Let us expel the blatant mismanages of this inept sitting government.

Big big difference between throwing away support for the SNP and throwing away support for Independence!
