Anche lei sente di volersi raccontare in un libro che intitola Frankly, con franchezza.
Mia CeranHOST
Sempre nel 2023 annuncia che non si ricandiderà all'elezione del Parlamento scozzese del 2026 e lascia il seggio da parlamentare che occupa da 27 anni di onorata carriera politica.
Mia CeranHOST
La sua uscita, però, questo va detto, è stata complicata dalle vicende che lei stessa non aveva previsto, perché suo marito Peter Murrell, ehm, è stato fondamentalmente accusato di appropriazione indebita di fondi del partito di cui lei stessa faceva parte.
Mia CeranHOST
Quindi Sturgeon era stata arrestata a sua volta nell'ambito di questa indagine, poi rilasciata senza accuse.
Jacob Mann ChristiansenHOST
So a recording exists in 69 of that Lyceum Theater production.
Jacob Mann ChristiansenHOST
1973, one of the more contemporized adaptions, a Liz Lockhead adaption comes out, which resets again, resets the basic premise to like a Scottish Parliament and Scottish royalty situation.
Jacob Mann ChristiansenHOST
Different production is on Broadway at the St. James Theatre in 75.
Jacob Mann ChristiansenHOST
It plays at the Stratford Theatre Festival in Ontario in 81.
Jack LaurenceHOST
What followed became a constitutional storm in its own right.
Jack LaurenceHOST
The Lord Advocate, Scotland's most senior prosecutor, a woman named Elish Angiolini, was so troubled by the outcome that she took the highly unusual step of addressing the Scottish Parliament about it, saying she was disappointed by the decision.
Jack LaurenceHOST
That, in turn, caused its own controversy because the country's most senior judge, the Lord Justice, General Lord Hamilton, publicly criticised her for commenting on a court decision in that way.
Jack LaurenceHOST
Other senior judges weighed in as well.
Jack LaurenceHOST
The people who examined the rule understood that tension perfectly well and the debate was a serious one.
Jack LaurenceHOST
Wait carefully on both sides.
Jack LaurenceHOST
But in the years that followed the collapsed trial, the Scottish Parliament did examine the ancient rule, and in 2011 it passed a new law, the Double Jeopardy Act, on the 22nd of March.
Jack LaurenceHOST
The approach it took was a measured one.

Tim HarfordHOST
In 2022, on International Women's Day, The then First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, gave a speech to the Scottish Parliament.
Tim HarfordHOST
Thousands of Scottish people, she explained, the vast majority women, stood trial for witchcraft in the late 1500s, 1600s and early 1700s until the law was finally amended.
Tim HarfordHOST
Scottish women, like the wise wife from Keith, tortured until she confessed that she'd colluded with the devil to cause the storm that hit King James's ship.
Stuart CosgroveHOST
Yeah, Paddy, I have to ask you this, and it's kind of digging deeper into the mind that you've just literally mentioned there.
Stuart CosgroveHOST
The Scottish Parliament, it took a lot of kind of kudos and respect for its parliamentary committee system.
Stuart CosgroveHOST
This is, you know, anything to deal with.
Stuart CosgroveHOST
Let's, for example, take a current debate about regulation of buses.
Bea HarbourGUEST
So yeah, then always there's a lot of discussion and deliberation and the responsibility they feel to bring those stories out.
StuartHOST
You've both seen the exhibition set up now here in the Scottish Parliament.
StuartHOST
You mentioned that the exhibition goes to all kinds of weird and wonderful buildings.
StuartHOST
It doesn't have to just be a gallery.
6 MINS LATER
StuartHOST
Thank you.
StuartHOST
And Beatrice, thank you so much for bringing the exhibition here.
StuartHOST
It is an incredible insight into the world and I encourage everybody to come and see it while it's here at the Scottish Parliament for about three weeks.
StuartHOST
So yeah, do join us.
Laura WebsterHOST
As a result, the company appears on the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights database of businesses involved in activities connected to illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Laura WebsterHOST
So long story short, CAF is shortlisted for this contract to build the ScotRail trains, despite the Scottish Parliament having voted to adopt boycott, divestment and sanctions measures against Israel just last year.
Laura WebsterHOST
And Flynn responded to Aslef saying the company would not be excluded from the procurement process despite the concerns that have been raised.
Laura WebsterHOST
Now, again, a lot of anger about this over the last sort of 24 hours.
Xander ElliardsHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Xander ElliardsHOST
So two facts established there.
Xander ElliardsHOST
The Scottish Parliament has voted for a boycott of both Israel and companies involved with Israel's breaches of international law.
Xander ElliardsHOST
That's a fact.
Craig DalzellGUEST
And, you know, they're starting to come on to it as well.
Craig DalzellGUEST
You know, Scottish Parliament and I believe the Welsh Senate now has passed resolutions saying that self-determination is key.
Craig DalzellGUEST
And in Scotland, Labour signed up to that.
Craig DalzellGUEST
So we have a pro-union party that is pro-self-determination in Scotland.
Alex MassieHOST
You know, you may think that this is a perfectly sensible approach for Malcolm Offutt, a rational way for him to think and behave.
Alex MassieHOST
But it is quite striking nonetheless and so on that, you know, as I say, I have never seen a leader of a political party in the Holyrood Parliament and so on who so clearly doesn't want to be there.
Bernard PonsonbyHOST
I think we could probably both agree that Thomas Kerr will be the leader at the next Scottish election.
Bernard PonsonbyHOST
And 17 became 16.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
There's this idea you should be angry with your country, that you should demand that it changes for you, not think that it's you that needs to work around your country.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
Here's an example from Hamza Yousaf from when he was government minister in the Scottish Parliament.
Hamza YousafSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That 99% of the meetings I go to, I'm the only non-white person in the room.
Hamza YousafSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But why are we so surprised when the most senior positions in Scotland are filled almost exclusively by those who are white? Take my portfolio alone.
