#ResignSturgeon began trending on Twitter today as thousands signed a petition calling for a vote of no confidence in the First Minister and her government.
The petition, which currently has over 20,000 signatures, was started by former Labour MP and Celebrity Big Brother star George Galloway, who accuses Nicola Sturgeon and her government of being "utterly incapable."
Galloway's petition was started two months ago, but has picked up momentum again today as all eyes look to Nicola Sturgeon to see if she will bring in further lockdown restrictions.
The politician has also started the Alliance for Unity movement which seeks to "defeat the SNP and end the Neverendum on Scotland’s future."
The petition reads: "As #ResignSturgeon trends across social media, it has become clear that Nicola Sturgeon and her government are utterly incapable of working for the best interests of the Scottish people and Scotland.
"Day after day, we hear of more lurid scandals emerging from Holyrood.
"Be it literally ruining the futures of our children in the SQA results scandal, slandering Douglas Ross and claiming he is a ‘racist’, lying over secret meetings with Alex Salmond, the Coronavirus care homes scandal, the cover-up over the Coronavirus outbreak at Nike, the drug death scandal, the Hate Crime bill, the Derek MacKay scandal or the complete silence on racist nationalists at the border calling for England to ‘get out of Scotland.'

"In the interest of all Scots, it’s time for Nicola Sturgeon to do the right thing - resign, and allow a cross-party government of unity take over to see Scotland through this dark time - created after 13 years of SNP misrule.
"If you agree, then please sign this petition which we will deliver to Holyrood. Scotland deserves better than this haphazard, reckless and foolish SNP administration, which has literally failed lives in their pursuit of the Neverendum and Scottish separatism."
