Nicola Sturgeon’s mum has revealed she is delighted to finally get her daughter back. Joan Sturgeon said she and husband Robin are proud of their girl’s achievements as Scotland’s First Minister but can’t wait until it is all over.
Former SNP councillor Joan, 70, said: “For the past few years, she has been Nicola the politician, who never switches off. Now, as a family, we get her back. We’re immensely proud of her. We’re all delighted. She’s done a brilliant job.”
Granny Joan, an ex-North Ayrshire Council provost, told how she met with her daughter after her resignation speech last Wednesday at Bute House in Edinburgh. In her speech, Sturgeon had said she was looking forward to more time with her family, including her niece and nephew – the children of her sister Gill, an NHS worker.
