1. When Nicola Sturgeon shut down a journalist who had the cheek to comment on her outfit.

Where's Ruth Davidson when you need someone to take a penalty? #POL #POR
Nailed it to heck.
5. When Nicola was cheerfully rude about UKIP.
6. And when she called a spade a spade.
7. When Ruth had no time for fellow Tory Angela Leadsom's comments about motherhood.
I am childless. I have nieces and nephews. I believe I - like everyone else - have a very real stake in our country.

12. And when she gave Dave Cameron the most savage side-eye the world has ever seen.
if I've learnt anything in life, when you get that look from a Scottish women, you're fucked and not in a good way.

It's all in a day's work for the first minister.

16. And did the same to UKIP's David Coburn.
17. When Mhairi Black shunned the fancy food at Westminster Palace in favour of a chip butty.
18. When Nicola tweeted this truly inspiring message to young women everywhere.
Politics aside - I hope girls everywhere look at this photograph and believe nothing should be off limits for them.
19. And, most importantly of all, when Ruth sat on a buffalo.
Because she is a strong, independent woman and she can do ANYTHING she wants. And also because Scotland is weird.
