Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announces surprise resignation

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced her resignation, after more than eight years at the helm. The move has sent shockwaves across Britain. Ms Sturgeon said she would remain leader until a successor has been found, adding that her decision to quit was not linked to recent short-term issues. She became Scotland's first female leader when she came to power in 2014, and led the Scottish National Party to a series of election victories. Ms Sturgeon is the country's longest-serving first minister.

The shocking breath and depth of the scandal prompts the question of who else knew about the dealings but kept silent during the entire episode.

It also raises the possibility that the incident is not an isolated one and whether more such cases exist within the stable of Government-linked companies and their worldwide dealings.

The government owes it to the public to conduct an open investigation into the matter as it involves public finances.
