Nicola Sturgeon pledges to continue to be 'champion' for Glasgow Southside as she steps down as FM

Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to be a "champion and voice" for her Glasgow constituency as she steps down as First Minister.

Ms Sturgeon made her last speech at Holyrood as First Minister last week and today, March 27 is her last full day in the top job. During her closing speech she said holding the post for the last eight years "truly has been the privilege of my lifetime".

However, she does not intend to leave politics or the Scottish Parliament altogether and will continue to act as the MSP for her Glasgow Southside constituency, which she has represented since 2007.
