class="content__text" Incredible loss, showing the world how to step down dignity! Posted @withregram • @guardian “I want to spend a bit of time on Nicola Sturgeon the person.” In a shock decision, after eight years Nicola Sturgeon has said she is resigning as Scotland’s longest-serving first minister. The Scottish National party (SNP) leader announced the decision at a press conference in Edinburgh this morning, saying she will remain in office until a successor is elected. Sturgeon says she has been ‘wrestling’ with resignation for ‘some weeks’ but knows the “time is now” for her to stand down, adding that it is “right for me, for my party and for the country”. She has indicated she will continue on the backbenches as an MSP at Holyrood, saying in Scotland there are now “stronger protections for victims of domestic abuse, and parliament will soon consider legislation to improve access to justice for victims of rape and sexual offences”.
