Nicola Sturgeon: “Thank you for that reaction to these yobs.”

I am delighted to be taking part in the Corridors of Power TPDF Masterclass to help a new generation of female leaders overcome these challenges.

My aim, to put it bluntly, is to close the attainment gap completely. It will not be done overnight, I accept that. But it must be done.

The reality is women in politics, in leadership, public life are treated differently. We are judged by different criteria.

But if you believe that, you cannot say to the people of Scotland that you never ever again have the chance to consider the independence question.
