did nicola sturgeon get anything wrong in that list? a question i posed about the nhs in scotland, about people waiting hours and sometimes days for an ambulance to take them to a&e to sit outside and not get a bed in a&e and a number of e—mails i had from people about that saying, fine, nicholas vision mixer political point, she had that scripted by her spin doctors of which we have record numbers in scotland but she couldn't even be bothered to answer the question about the health service point that she would rather make cheap political attacks on opponent rather than get to the bottom of the issues that are affecting people day in, day out right across scotland in the health service that is fully devolved and fully under the remit of nicola sturgeon. and of course rishi sunak would never respond to a question from keir starmer by saying that you supported jeremy corbyn a few years ago. everyone does that point more often than not when i hav— to the prime minister, he tries to at least answer the substantive question, nicola sturgeon

what does nicola sturgeon have now? mane does nicola sturgeon have now? none reall .and it could be seen as a nationalist strategy, because once again it allows the snp to create the narrative that they have been creating all day today which is that the uk does not allow scots to do what scots want to do, and that grievance narrative as the unionists would call it. i think to a degree it has played into the snp�*s khan is much more than it has played into the unionist�* hands. nicola sturgeon is probably not that worried about recourse until a�*s decision, probably what she is worried about now is, "can i risk a proxy referendum in 2024? can i risk making the 2024 general election about independence or should i wait until the 2026 scottish election when keir starmer is less of an issue, when cost of living in the economy are less of an issue and where i can get a clearer run and get a better result?" i think that is the key question for nicola sturgeon. and it is an accidental question, you are getting to the point with the snp and the independence movement where you

because nicola sturgeon is moving the debate forward.otjust independence, saying that the snp wants now to build a wider movement to fight on that platform. and there was an upping of the language in that press conference she gave earlier as well. talking about whilst respecting the rule of the courts, that this perhaps indicated that the voluntary partnership between the nations of the united kingdom was being strained at the seams. so she will take every opportunity going forward to make the case for independence. that started with, of course, arguments over brexit, now it is argument over the cost of living, which the snp and their partners the scottish greens, their partners in parliament, would say could be dealt with better were scotland to be independent. they will continue to make that case and they will now make that case and they will now make it with this argument about democracy as well.— make it with this argument about democracy as well. lorna, thank you ve much democracy as well. lorna, thank you very much indeed. _ democr

secondly, as you mention, there is the discussion with nicola sturgeon, scotland was my first ministerfirst minister of oil, and that matters in terms of optics as well because it is a very public show that rishi sunak wants to do things differently from liz truss who did not speak to nicola sturgeon or mark drakeford at all in her period in downing street. i think rishi sunak wants to give the impression that he is trying to come up impression that he is trying to come up with a collegiate approach to some of the challenges in the economy and various other things. he wants to give the impression in his words that we are all working together. however, again, although the optics do matter, ijust put that caveat on the table, that that does not necessarily mean agreement either because i think there is a pretty big row coming with the scottish and welsh governments when it comes to the autumn statement and the fact there is going to be a big fiscal squeeze. there will be a lot of budgets which will see cuts over the next few years. i think there will be some pretty tense discussions with

in 2014, voters in scotland rejected independence, but the first minister nicola sturgeon wants anotheras said she's disappointed by today's ruling — the prime minister rishi sunak says it's clear and definitive. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. speedy and unequivocal. after complex arguments from the uk and scottish governments, a clear legal ruling. the court is unanimous, which considerably shortens the time required. the five supreme courtjudges reaching their decision in just six weeks. ruling that the power to grant a second vote on independence lies with the uk government at westminster. the scottish parliament does not have the power to legislate for a referendum on scottish independence. scotland's first minister says she respects and accepts the judgment. she will continue to seek westminster authority to proceed with a vote and warns of this, if it is not forthcoming... what i will not do, however, is go cap in hand. my expectation in the short—term, at least, is that the uk will maintain its position of outright democracy denial. that position is, in my view,
