Most MSPs are run ragged

With all its faults, twitterx is still a great place to find terrible people bluntly informing us on how terrible they are.

For Women Scotland are quoting Nicola Sturgeon:

She seems to forget that she is still paid £74,500 as an MSP to represent her constituency. Most MSPs are run ragged.

We can only assume that with all this reading, gig going, driving, and socialising, she's not really doing her job.

But she's taking our money.
