Dear John,

The big news this month has been the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon.

Her legacy will be the division she created - and the promises she failed to deliver.

The outgoing SNP leader left too many areas behind, especially in rural areas.

She governed for the central belt at the expense of the Borders.

Our communities didn’t get a fair deal.

Nicola Sturgeon didn’t make life better for people in the Borders or anywhere across Scotland.

Families and businesses in 2023 are struggling more today than when she came to power.

Worst of all, she didn’t even focus on the day job. Her government was always distracted by its obsession with another divisive referendum.

People’s top priorities, the issues that really matter to you, were always put on the back-burner by Nicola Sturgeon.

Independence was her first, last and only real priority.

I hope the next SNP leader will be different.

There is a huge opportunity now for the new First Minister to drop the referendum obsession and work constructively with the UK Government to improve the lives of people across Scotland.

It is my sincere hope that the deep divisions in our country can depart with Nicola Sturgeon.
