Sterling Sturgeon?

Most commentators agree it was a good night for Nicola Sturgeon, all things considered. Not only did she arrive to a friendly welcome in Edinburgh West this morning but she is being lauded south of the border too.

Labour MPs and supporters have been quick to compliment her critique of Nigel Farage over his comments immigration and fascinating polling data has revealed that one in three Labour voters thought that the SNP was victorious in the debate and more Lib Dems thought she had won than their own leader, Nick Clegg.

Her performance has even left some people calling for SNP candidates to stand in England and Wales, a suggestion Ms Sturgeon laughed off this morning. She said:  “I think it is a reflection of how out of touch the whole Westminster system has become.”
