Sturgeon endorses surprising candidate as successor

He may lack the necessary experience, however.

Nicola Sturgeon announced her intention to stand down just 24 hours ago, and the race to replace her is set to commence in earnest in the coming days.

The SNP’s ruling body will meet virtually on Thursday to discuss a timetable for the leadership race, with an announcement expected afterwards.

No-one has yet said they want to step into the First Minister’s shoes, but one major development has narrowed the pool of potential leaders.

Andy Murray has hinted that he is “looking to get into politics” when he finishes playing tennis.

Despite Sturgeon saying she wouldn’t endorse anyone as her successor, his name looks to be too attractive to ignore.

I know I said I wouldn’t endorse anyone as my successor, but….

Elsewhere, Angus Robertson has emerged as the bookies’ favourite for the top job.

The Scottish Constitution Secretary has been a high-profile figure in the party for the best part of a decade, serving as Westminster leader before losing his seat in the Commons to Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross.

The Edinburgh Central MSP has also been a close ally of the First Minister.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
