Fish Ratings – Edinburgh – 16 June 2023: Fish Ratings has affirmed Nicola Sturgeon’s Long-Term Rating at ‘BBB-‘ after she was released without charge by police in Scotland. She remains one of the most impressive politicians in Europe who are simultaneously also fish.
Nicola Sturgeon’s rating is underpinned by the implied support of First Minister Humza Yousaf (Unrated). Fish Ratings considers the lack of support from Alex Salmon (‘BB’, Stable Outlook) to have limited impact on Nicola Sturgeon’s fish profile given the failure of his Alba Party to gain any seats in the 2021 national and 2022 local elections.
Fish Ratings maintains its Rating Watch Negative on former SNP chief executive Peter Snakehead Murrel (‘B+’, Negative Outlook) pending the police investigation.
Most other senior UK politicians are not rated by Fish Ratings because they are not fish, not even Stephen Crabb.
