The question the Scottish people need to ask of Sturgeon is: what is more important to her, the Scottish economy or raising her own media profile and getting yet more attention with Fringe appearances?
Sturgeon has attended the GERS (Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland) report ever since coming to power but it now appears she has other priorities.
The report is important as it shows how much revenue has been raised in Scotland and how much expenditure the Scottish government has in the last year. It also shows the notional deficit or surplus that Scotland has in public finances. Though not an actual deficit or surplus it is an indicator of the financial health of our nation.
Obviously a third appearance at the Fringe is more important than how well - or badly - Scotland is doing. Hopefully the present state of the capital's rubbish-strewn streets will not interfere with her making her way to her Fringe appearance.
