Ex-MP #JoannaCherry is a v sore loser.
She has left the #SNP, and has a lucrative career as a KC, but 2 years after Parliament she still seems to put a lot of energy spraying venom on her former colleagues in the SNP, esp #Sturgeon & #Swinney.
This is a consistent pattern in Cherry's politics: all angry negative. Bitter about Brexit, bitter about SNP, bitter about #trans people.
