'Sitting on the fence!' Scottish Labour leader brutally shamed as Douglas Ross lashes out


Following a furious clash between Nicola Sturgeon and Douglas Ross, the Scottish Labour Party leader appeared to mock the pair for setting a great example for young people during the NUS Scotland debate. However, both Ms Sturgeon and Mr Ross fired their own digs at Anas Sarwar for “sitting on the fence”.

Mr Sarwar said: “A great example to children and young people across the country, fantastic.”

Ms Sturgeon replied: “All this sitting on the fence might be good for a while but sooner or later in politics, you have to decide which side you are on.”

The Scottish Labour leader asked: “Was that targetted at me, sorry?”

Mr Ross interjected: “As she was speaking about sitting on the fence, it was definitely at you Anas.”

Mr Sarwar added: “I think my position is pretty clear, I just like to not forget about the half of the country that does not agree with me.”

The Scottish Labour leader made the comment regarding setting an example for young people as a heated clash unfolded between Ms Stugeon and Mr Ross over Covid vaccine rates.

The SNP reacted furiously to Scottish Conservative Party leader Douglas Ross criticising the Scottish Government during the NUS debate.

Mr Ross asked the First Minister: “What is the highest percentage for an independent country in the European Union for their population to be covered?”

“That is quite simply not true, we procured the vaccine in the same way every year we procure the flu vaccine.

“You don’t need to tell me how many people have been vaccinated, I spent every day overseeing the programme.

“So stop talking down our vaccination programme for political purposes.

“It is disgraceful to seek to do that.”
