A LINE of Duty star has branded Nicola Sturgeon as "the most capable politician in the UK of the last decade."
Martin Compston took to twitter today to share his thoughts on the First Minister's resignation.
He wrote: "By far the most capable politician in the UK of the last decade.
"Ran rings round umpteen opposition leaders and prime ministers, Nicola Sturgeon leaves independence movement in a far stronger position than when she took over and deserved to go out on her terms.
"Be sorely missed."
By far the most capable politician in the UK of the last decade. Ran rings round umpteen opposition leaders and prime ministers, @NicolaSturgeon leaves independence movement in a far stronger position than when she took over and deserved to go out on her terms. Be sorely missed🏴

Those that left comments seemed to agree with the 38-year-old, with one user writing: "Agree 100% Martin."
The First Minister stepped down today after eight years, which she announced at a press conference this morning.
Sturgeon has said she will remain an MSP “until, certainly, the next election."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
