Nicola Sturgeon repeatedly insists that austerity measures can be abandoned and our nuclear deterrent scrapped.

So why isn't she sharing these great insights with the rest of the world?

The First Minister could help out the whole of Greece simply by informing Germany's Angela Merkel that austerity has got to go -- and we'd surely all be better off if Ms Sturgeon could persuade Russia, China and North Korea to unilaterally abandon their nuclear arsenals.

Instead, our First Minister focuses solely on adding to the UK's £1.5 trillion of national debt and upon removing our only deterrent against bullying, nuclear-armed dictatorships.
