Sturgeon Criticizes SNP Campaign | Glasgow News

Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s scathing new memoir foreword has ignited a firestorm within the SNP, as she lambasts the party’s recent Holyrood campaign for lacking vision and crediting its gains to the Greens’ limited contest. Her public critique, coming after the SNP lost seats despite leader John Swinney calling it a win, has drawn sharp backlash from allies who deem her comments unfair—especially given Swinney’s leadership through turbulent times, including legal fallout from Sturgeon’s estranged husband. While many activists still revere her legacy, particularly her pandemic leadership, her declining popularity before leaving office and now her public dissent are deepening party divisions. Swinney has stayed quiet, focusing on his mandate, leaving the party at a crossroads: how to balance loyalty to a revered past leader with support for a current one navigating a fragile future.
