The out-going First Minister saw her record in office attacked by opposition parties today as she prepares to leave Bute House
Nicola Sturgeon clashed with Douglas Ross and Anas Sarwar during her final First Minister's Questions as SNP leader today.

Sarwar said: “Her successor inherits this woeful SNP record but they don’t inherit her mandate. The last election was a pandemic election.
