Gary Gibbon: Nicola sturgeon’s national ‘debut’?
It’s the morning after the night before and Gary Gibbon has this analysis of early reactions:
Michael Gove just called Nicola Sturgeon a “debutante” on Radio 4’s Today programme and a “very impressive one” – he’s a man of formidable vocabulary and you can’t help thinking he wanted to goad and big up the First Minister at the same time.
“George Osborne’s first responses in the spin room last night included praise for the First Minister. I’m not sure the SNP needs their kind offer of help. After the debate, the SNP team had real-time connection to its own party membership statistics on an iPhone and it was extraordinary to watch the tally click round – 1500+ new members from 8pm onwards.
