Does anybody care about Sturgeon's romantic preferences?
Sturgeon is also fond of claiming that much of the censure she experiences is misogynistic. Again, I'm indifferent to whether she's a woman: her sexuality and gender are irrelevant to me. My concern is her obsessive focus on nationalist dogma while egotistically promoting the cult of Nicola when in office to the detriment of the job she was paid to do: effectively manage Scotland's public services. This primarily is why many criticise her, not because she's a woman who may, or may not, be heterosexual. Martin Redfern, Melrose. Letters: 'Gay marriage' is anachronistic. Let's just say 'marriage' Letters: Sturgeon and Johnson won't abandon their control freakery anytime soon Letters: Devolution has achieved much. Independence will do more Bureaucratic bungle ANAS Sarwar's comments regarding Donald Dewar's disappointment with the state of devolution ('Sarwar: Dewar would be disappointed at devolution progress', The Herald, August 6) are a crossroads moment in Scottish politics, demanding urgent reflection and action. As we commemorate 25 years since the establishment of Holyrood, it has become painfully clear that what was once hailed as a triumph of Scottish self-governance has now largely devolved into bureaucracy and political infighting devoid of meaningful citizen engagement. Dewar envisioned a Scotland governed by a responsive administration that prioritised the needs of its people, yet today we witness an alarming decline in the standards of the very public services that should uplift our communities. The stark fact that police numbers have plunged by nearly 1,000 since 2020 exemplifies a significant breakdown in our governance system. Without adequate community safety measures, public confidence wanes and citizens are left feeling vulnerable. Moreover, the struggles within our healthcare system further illustrate the dire consequences of a government more focused on its internal politicking than on the needs of its constituents. As incidents of patient neglect continue to rise, with numerous reports highlighting a crisis in service delivery, the question remains: how can our leaders reconcile the promise of devolution with the realities faced by ordinary Scots? In order to fulfil Dewar's vision, we must shift the paradigm of governance back towards local councils. Local authorities are equipped to better understand and respond to the unique challenges of their communities, yet they remain hampered by a lack of real power and resources. We must demand that responsibility be devolved further down the ladder, not just to Holyrood but directly to local councils accountable to their constituents. As we consider the next steps toward a truly responsive governance model, it is essential to recall the wisdom often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, 'government is best which governs least.' This principle underlines the call for minimal yet effective governance, where those closest to the issues are empowered to make decisions and allocate resources as necessary. This cannot happen until we dismantle the bureaucratic clutches of Holyrood and trust our local governments to innovate and lead with authority. It is imperative that practical solutions to community issues be prioritised over ideological constructs or party lines. Ensuring safety, healthcare, and education thrive requires not only funding but also the freedom for local authorities to exercise judgement in addressing their populations' pressing needs. When council members are allowed to engage with residents openly and effectively, we can expect tangible improvements and restoration of public faith in our governing institutions. In conclusion, if we are to honour Donald Dewar's legacy, and harness the true potential of devolution, we must advocate for a local governance model that is both effective and accountable. We cannot afford to let devolution continue down the path it currently treads, one that is disconnected from the very communities it was intended to serve. Let us restore local governance to its rightful place at the core of Scottish democracy, ensuring that devolution translates into genuine progress for all citizens. The time for renewed local authority empowerment is now. Alastair Majury, Dunblane. Faith no more 'FORBES'S views have no place in society" writes a Herald contributor (Letters, August 10). But are Kate Forbes's views on same-sex marriage and extramarital sex all that unusual? There is surely a hidden risk of dangerous sectarianism or prejudice if we imagine that evangelical and Catholic viewpoints on sexuality need to be excluded in modern Scotland. James Hardy, Belfast. Zoom ahead SINCE announcing her impending departure as an MSP (''Shocking loss of best leader SNP never had' as Forbes quits', The Herald, August 5) ,Kate Forbes has had widespread praise from across political circles. The suggestion that she should have a role in Highland and Islands Enterprise makes a lot of sense, though the role of CEO would be a bit much for an active mother. Nevertheless, Ms Forbes is highly educated, an accountant who speaks Gaelic and Urdu, and is a woman of faith. Surely she has a role as an advisor to Highland and Islands Enterprise on policy issues. This need not involve going to Inverness, as she could communicate by Zoom call. Robert Gibson, Milngavie. Child's play PERHAPS Peter Wright should have read Brian Wilson's column a bit more carefully before launching his attack on Kate Forbes (Letters, August 8). The post of chair of Highlands and Islands Enterprise is a three day per week job, based in Inverness and not a full-time job, as he states. He would also have been wise to have read more closely Ms Forbes' reasons for standing down at next year's election. Currently she works five to six days a week and is based in Edinburgh, leaving her young daughter behind due to the paucity of child care facilities at Holyrood. She also cites the toxic nature of 24/7 social media and the brutal place that politics now occupies. I am not a fan of the SNP but I am an admirer of Ms Forbes who is truly a breath of fresh air and outshines many of her colleagues both within and outwith her political party. I will be sorry to see her go. Isobel Frize, Glasgow. Work or shirk? VICE President JD Vance, Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner have been doing a bit of 'bonding', we are told. Or is it the Brits getting their instructions for when the Palestinians and Ukrainians lose all, or part, of their land? Then we will have a Home Office version of DOGE, with Border Security rounding up people for working when they should be idle. Now, I thought the UK was desperate for workers to, you know, WORK. Would it not make sense, even to the idiots in Westminster, if people who are waiting for their status to become clear could actually use their skills to earn money, pay tax and take some of the burden off the rest of us? GR Weir, Ochiltree. Is it America's Vice President or a Biblical leader? It's getting harder to tell the difference. Raising the issue MOSES, the devoted servant of God, split the Red Sea so his people could flee oppression. JD Vance, the devoted servant of President Trump, had his security detail raise the water level of the Little Miami River, so he could go kayaking safely. The modern Gods have different priorities. Dennis Fitzgerald, Box Hill, Australia.

SNP ministers have been accused of 'shameful neglect' after it was revealed that almost 200 police stations contain asbestos. Figures obtained through Freedom of Information requests by the Scottish Conservatives revealed that 177 police stations across Scotland contain the substance that can cause serious health problems if fibres that are released into the air are breathed in. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad almost 200 police stations in Scotland contain asbestos | Police Scotland The data shows that every region across the country has police stations that contain asbestos. The region with the highest number of asbestos-containing police stations is in Aberdeenshire and Moray, where 25 buildings contain the material. Great Glasgow has 23 buildings with the material and there are 21 in Tayside. The figures, obtained from Police Scotland, also show four police stations contain reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac), which has been shown to be susceptible to structural failure - mostly when buildings have come to the end of their lifespan. Two police stations in Tayside contained Raac, as well as one in Edinburgh and another in the Lothians and Scottish Borders region. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Tories have highlighted that the Scottish Police Federation (SPF), the union representing rank-and-file officers in Scotland, has warned for years about the state of police stations across the country. It also referenced a 2019 Holyrood committee hearing in which former SPF general secretary Calum Steele described the Ayr station as 'probably being carved out of asbestos'. The Scottish Conservatives' justice spokesman, Liam Kerr, said the figures should be an 'urgent wake-up call' to the Scottish Government. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'He said: 'It is utterly appalling and downright dangerous that any of Scotland's police stations should still contain asbestos. 'The fact the vast majority do across the country is deeply alarming and puts our hardworking officers and staff at great risk. Scottish Conservative MSP Liam Kerr 'These shocking findings are the latest example of the SNP's shameful neglect of Police Scotland.' Mr Kerr added: 'They have ignored warnings for years about Scotland's crumbling police estate and left officers and staff working in these buildings to face the consequences.

Figures released in April under a previous Freedom of Information request by the Conservatives showed there were 333 stations around the country in need of repairs, with the north-east region being the highest with 53 stations needing work. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Necessary repairs and investment have been made over the years to ensure our buildings have met health and safety requirements. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'In November 2024 the Scottish Police Authority endorsed Police Scotland's estates masterplan, a 10-year programme to create a modern, fit for purpose estate that best serves our communities and our workforce. 'The aim is to create an estate of strategically based locations or hubs that enable officers to be visible and accessible to local communities, whilst being environmentally sustainable and economically viable for the future. 'Our buildings need to be safe, functional spaces, that are adaptable to meet the changing nature of policing. Modernising our estate will help us improve employee welfare and wellbeing, contributing to our 2030 vision of a thriving workforce. 'As part of our programme to invest in our estate to be retained, by the end of this financial year upgrade work will have been carried out on a significant number of our buildings.'

Nicola Sturgeon admits regret over failing to 'pause' gender reforms debate
Nicola Sturgeon has admitted she should have halted the toxic debate instead of choosing to 'dig my heels in'. Sign up to our Politics newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Nicola Sturgeon has admitted regret she didn't 'pause' and 'take a step back' from her gender recognition reforms. The former first minister has adamantly stood by her belief that trans rights should be protected, but has now revealed that the proposed reforms, which were agreed by the Scottish Parliament but blocked by the UK government, should have been put on hold. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Nicola Sturgeon has admitted regret over he gender recognition debate (Pic: John Devlin) The legislation, which was overwhelmingly backed by MSPs, would have allowed trans people to self-ID in their lived gender and obtain a gender recognition certificate. But the UK government blocked the legislation from becoming law, arguing that it impinged on UK-wide equalities laws. Sturgeon regrets continuing with gender reforms In an interview to mark the release of her memoirs, Frankly, Ms Sturgeon has now opened up to ITV about the gender recognition debate, suggesting regret that she didn't put the debate on hold - having failed to acknowledge the scale of some of the criticism she received for her beliefs. Vocal campaigners have repeatedly criticised Ms Sturgeon for pursuing the gender recognition reforms, even on occasion targeting her in public, including shouting at her in the street, over their opposition to the plans.

Picture: Lisa Ferguson Speaking to ITV, Ms Sturgeon said: 'I didn't anticipate as much as I should, or engage as much as I should, on some of the concerns that might then be triggered. 'At the point I knew it was becoming, or felt it becoming, as polarised I should have said, 'Right, okay, let's pause, let's take a step back'. 'I fervently believe that the rights of women and the interests of trans people are not irreconcilable at all. I should have taken a step back and said, 'How do we achieve this?'.'

In response, Ms Sturgeon said: "Paused, yes". Ms Sturgeon also told the Sunday Times that in hindsight 'it might have been wiser to take a step back than to dig my heels in.' 'Extraordinary turnaround' from Sturgeon Former SNP MP Joanna Cherry, who lost her seat with a majority of almost 12,000 last year, branded Ms Sturgeon's admission an "extraordinary turnaround'. She added: 'Can those of us she demonised for requesting just that now expect an apology?' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The former first minister has repeatedly refused to apologise despite calls from campaigners. The admission comes as Ms Sturgeon was branded 'ludicrous' by her critics after she suggested Alex Salmond could have leaked a sexual misconduct investigation against him. Alex Salmond and Nicola (Picture: Jeff J Mitchell) | Getty Images The former first minister has hit out at the "truly disgraceful' attempt of Mr Salmond to 'distort and weaponise' his alleged victims' trauma as she accused him of being 'determined to destroy me'. In an excerpt of her new memoir, published in the Sunday Times , Ms Sturgeon insists that a conspiracy against Mr Salmond, which he and his allies have claimed without proof had taken place, was 'a fabrication'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Mr Salmond was cleared of any criminality at the High Court in Edinburgh in 2020 and died last year . Conspiracy a 'fabrication' In her book, Ms Sturgeon acknowledged Mr Salmond was 'acquitted of criminal behaviour', but stressed that during the trial, 'a picture emerged of behaviour towards women that, on occasion, had been inappropriate'. Referring to a conspiracy, Ms Sturgeon stressed it 'would have needed a number of women deciding to concoct false allegations, without any obvious motive for doing so'. She added: 'It would then have required criminal collusion between them, senior ministers and civil servants, the police and the Crown. That is what he was alleging. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The 'conspiracy' was a fabrication, the invention of a man who wasn't prepared to reflect honestly on his own conduct. This is what I found hardest to come to terms with.' Details of a Scottish Government investigation into Mr Salmond were leaked to the Daily Record newspaper. Last year, Police Scotland confirmed no action would be taken about the leak. But Ms Sturgeon has suggested the leak could have come from Mr Salmond himself, stressing the action could have been 'classic Alex'. She said: 'It crossed my mind many times that it might have been Alex himself or someone acting on his behalf. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Leak could have been 'classic Alex' 'To those with no experience of the dark arts of media manipulation, I know this will sound preposterous. However, in many ways it would have been classic Alex. 'I had known him to make these kinds of calculations in the past. If there is damaging information certain to emerge about you and there is nothing you can do to stop it, get it out in a way that gives you the best chance of controlling the narrative.' Alba leader Kenny MacAskill, an ally of Mr Salmond, accused Ms Sturgeon of 'hypocrisy' over her claims. Writing on X, Mr MacAskill said: 'It's one thing to be supposedly candid in your autobiography. Quite another to block openness and transparency when in office and by those you continue to support. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'This hypocrisy yet another reason for an inquiry into the Scottish Government's actions relating to Alex Salmond.' Mr MacAskill, who last month insisted he would 'never forgive' Ms Sturgeon, has accused her of attempting to 'rewrite history' and 'distorting the truth' over her claims. Joanna Cherry (Image:) Ms Cherry said: 'On her own admission Sturgeon knew about the allegations in March 2018. And the idea that Alex leaked the existence of them to the Daily Record is ludicrous. 'He was about to sue the Scottish Government in part to stop them publishing.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad David Clegg, the journalist who broke the story for the Daily Record, told the BBC that claims Mr Salmond leaked the story himself are 'not credible' and he would 'be very surprised if it was the case'. Speaking on the Sunday Show, Mr Clegg said that 'a document turned up in the post at the Record office', adding that 'if it was Alex Salmond' who had sent it, he did an 'incredible acting job of seeming surprised and shocked' when they spoke about the story.
