Cherry vs Sturgeon on Politics and Privacy | Glasgow News

Joanna Cherry fires back at Nicola Sturgeon after the First Minister called her “obsessed” with her, calling the remark personal and dismissive. Cherry insists she’s focused on scrutinizing a decade of Scottish politics under Sturgeon’s leadership—not her private life—and highlights Sturgeon’s past support for self-identification policies as harmful to women and LGBTQ+ people. The heated exchange, sparked during separate Edinburgh Festival Fringe interviews, also touched on Sturgeon’s sexuality, with Cherry defending privacy while arguing that policy impacts real lives. Cherry, a lesbian, emphasized that attraction is biological, not bureaucratic, drawing a parallel with the interviewer. The clash reveals deepening political rifts over identity, gender, and accountability. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
