At least it's not Derbyshire



Sturgeon moves to London - as she defends record over husband's crimes


Nicola Sturgeon has moved to London following the fallout over her estranged husband’s conviction for embezzlement.

The former Scottish First Minister is renting a luxury property in the capital as she looks to start a career in the literary industry, the Mail reported.

She hinted she might move to London while promoting her memoir last year, adding that she felt she could not “breathe freely” at home.



The literary industry eh? There are quite a few obvious jibes we could bung in here, but if she intends to write books, there are numerous subjects she should avoid to head off even more jibes.

For example, a novel where the feisty heroine auditor arrives at a ferry port in her motorhome to carry out an audit on behalf of the government. That won't do.

"the feisty heroine": surely "the feisty trans herx"?

dearieme - could be, it depends on the readership she's aiming at. It's not easy to imagine who they might be though.

Let us hope her new career in the literary industry does as well as she deserves.

DJ - yes, let us hope she sets a new record for speedy progress to the remaindered books pile.

Ah that bracing London air! So much more breathable than stale, stifling Edinburgh.

Tammly - and the pure air of the Underground with its fresh, natural aroma.

The "literary industry"? Industry? What she means, I take it, is another ghost-written book of memoirs. The last one was called "Frankly", apparently - it's like she's never seen "Gone with the wind"!

Like Harry and Meghan, she is rapidly approaching the territory of "can we please hear no more about this, ever?".

Peter - she seems to think she has something to sell in that line but she may be disappointed.

Yes, just like Harry and Meghan.
