“The First Minister has earned the right to leave on her own terms.'
Mixed feelings have emerged from Glasgow councillors following the First Minister's decision to resign.
Meanwhile the leader of Glasgow's Conservative party said that her time in office "would sadly be remembered as one that divided Glasgow communities". “Scotland has been changed for the better by her being in politics and Glasgow is fortunate to have an MSP of such extraordinary courage and conviction.
He said: “As a new father, I am acutely aware of the need to balance the demands of politics while being mindful of the toll it can take on not only myself, but on my family as well. “There is now a clear opportunity for the SNP to put a decade of division behind them and focus on the true priorities of Glaswegians, such as supporting them through the cost-of-living crisis, fixing our crumbling roads and getting a grip of the pressures in our NHS.
