Analysis: Despite her pledge today that she will be first minister for 'quite some time', many believe behind the scenes Nicola Sturgeon is actively working out an exit strategy
"You hear the sentiment we've been in too long," said one veteran nationalist."There are policy failures almost on a daily basis. We look tired, we look stale, there are no new ideas."

Alex Salmond, Sturgeon's political mentor-turned-enemy, argues there is a"vacuum of strategic thinking" in the SNP which"does not augur well for the prospects of better planning in the aftermath" of the Supreme Court judgment.
With Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer now looking possible, Ms Sturgeon's colleagues worry their voters may temporarily back his party at a general election to get rid of the Conservatives. "They abandon all principle for fear of upsetting the apple cart. Bluntly - they are willing to chuck Scotland under Boris Johnson's Brexit bus to get the keys to Downing Street. Letting down Scotland. Same old Labour."Sturgeon's future
