You’d think if your political leadership had led to the fracturing of your party with key figures investigated as part of a finance probe, you’d keep your head down. Not Nicola Sturgeon. The SNP’s former Dear Leader seems to be rather enjoying her time in the spotlight – with the sitting MSP hosting a number of literary events across Scotland and endlessly promoting her soon-to-be-published memoir. Now it transpires that the politician is set to be interviewed in October at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall – with attendees charged a hefty sum of £150 if they want to meet the former first minister before nabbing a front row seat for her Q&A. Crikey!
Seats at the Edinburgh event range from £30 to £74, with a whopping £75 fee slapped on for those who want to attend a meet and greet with Sturgeon beforehand. The evening promises to be a ‘rare chance to hear directly from one of the most recognisable voices in UK politics’, where the parliamentarian will be interviewed before taking questions from the audience.
