As a Scot who had a relative who had to shelter in place because of health conditions when COVID 19 first hit. I remember getting clear instructions on what to do to keep our relative safe from the Scottish government. Then our relative would watch Boris on the Tv and we would have to explain to them why they had to shelter in place. I was talking to a family member who is a nurse in Wales and what they told me about the Westminster government is not surprising. She told us when Swine flu was predicted to sweep the world a pandemic protocol was put in place. When then pandemic didn't hit the protocol was shelved and cuts to the NHS continued against what medical professionals were saying and then COVID19 hit.

Rinsed? I thought i watched all of it - but I must have missed that bit.

I have to agree with many of these comments I'm a politics Joe viewer and subscriber I do usually rate their content I am Scottish I do vote for the SNP At no point during this inquiry was NS rinsed by the line of questioning, she appears as usual very logical, very honest and for the most part calm throughout. Why are they now jumping on the telegraph and Scottish sun bandwagon of trying to make the Scottish government or our politicians look like the bad guys. When the level of professionalism, ethics and standards are far higher than in Westminster. Politics Joe do better we need some fair representation in the media guys.....
