This 7-year-old’s brilliant Nicola Sturgeon Halloween performance has us all telt
While most kids were dressing up as classic monsters or their favourite film character for Halloween – before staying indoors and eating their own sweets because Trick or Treat was banned – one young boy had a very different costume idea.
Our 7 year old son asked to be Nicola for hallowe’en. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all @NicolaSturgeon @JaneyGodley #nicolasturgeon pic.twitter.com/Kbhp8z3yDB

As you may have noticed, Jacob‘s performance seemed to have been inspired as much by the great Janey Godley as by the First Minister herself.
Here’s an example – the language is not safe for work or 7-year-olds, but it’s very funny.

This kid being Nicola Sturgeon as played by @JaneyGodley is the best thing to happen in 2020 BY FAR https://t.co/n3HXiB0ZJS

Perhaps most importantly, Nicola Sturgeon saw it and took it with more than good humour.
Thank you @welsh_alyson – this has made me smile and given me a much needed laugh this morning. What a wee star – I think we might draft him in for the daily briefings! https://t.co/P4jvd3CGAZ

She may well have guaranteed herself a voter for life.
