“Nicola Sturgeon’s Reputation Has Been Soured” After Former First Minister Appears At Covid Inquiry

Scotland's former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is giving evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry in Edinburgh.
She says none of the decisions she made during the pandemic were based on political considerations or trying to advance the cause of independence
Sturgeon says "I was motivated solely by trying to do the best we could to keep people as safe as possible,"
The former SNP leader denied that the government's strategy was based on her instincts and that decisions were made by her and a small band of trusted advisers
Earlier, she fought back tears as she said part of her wished she had not been first minister when the pandemic struck.
TalkTV's Vanessa Feltz is joined by international editor Isabel Oakshott and political correspondent at the Times John Boothman to discuss Sturgeon's appearance at the inquiry

    She was on the TV every day telling us all what to do like some pontificating tin pot dictator whilst her policies led to multiple deaths in care homes. The policies they espoused have caused untold misery in the health service,education, children’s health, business,hospitality it will be years before Scotland recovers if it ever does. No wonder she’s crying her policies have caused untold death and havoc…… delete, delete, delete

    I am now a proud supporter of the Conservative Party. The only vote here to keep the SNP out. But mainly, I have watched Ruth Davidson and now Douglas Ross challenging NS and HY expertly week after week on FMQT. Willie Rennie who was leader of the Liberals was brilliant. But when FMs stand there lying so bare facedly the SNP followers believed her. HY is a puppet. John Swinney, where is he hiding? He prompted NS continually when she didn’t know the facts and Swinney would be checking on his laptop. The SNP is a cult. I have no difficulty not supporting them. I have my own mind.
