Line of Duty star Martin Compston has praised First Minister Nicola Sturgeon after she announced her shock resignation as First Minister.
The actor hailed her as "the most capable politician in the UK of the last decade" as tributes poured in. The First Minister announced on Wednesday morning that she will be resigning after eight years in office.
She admitted she had been considering it for a number of weeks and said it was someone else's turn to lead the SNP. When grilled as to whether it was the gender reform bill that was the 'last straw' for her, she argued that her "decision comes from a deeper and longer-term assessment."
