“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

And the Oscar goes to the best actress in a criminal act goes to Nicola Sturgeons.During the ferries and Salmond enquiries she could not recall what she had had for breakfast but today could recall everything.A total and utter liar.
She's Snivelling because she knows she's got it coming.
These headlines..."her reputation HAS been soured". Read the room 😂😂😂
Oh boohoo, cry me a river. All those freaking people in charge went on a powertrip, they belong in jail
When she was attacking..hard as nails... when she's being attacked....boo....hooo...oh woe is me..... unbelievable but typical...
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

A lot of people wished she wasn’t the FM period.
The only thing she is sorry about is being found out!
She's grizzling because she's been caught out!
She should be jailed even there she is lying.
Quite a lot of us wish that she hadn’t been FM

So why was she in power so long. At least she is gone now forever.
Sturgeon used her daily covid update to make it look like she was better than anyone else .But we know that was not the case .She could not wait to get on that podium to try and score political points .The KC could see right through her and new she was lying .

What reputation?
what about an apology for those who seen through her lies from the very beginning of her daily covid briefs
Why hasn’t she been brought up on charges of conspiracy?
How can her reputation sour? Its already rank rotten.
Her reputation has been soured, no, it's been demolished.

The country was so overwhelmed that the doctors and nurses couldn't even find the time to record dance routines. Oh wait. 🤣🤣🤡🤡 The whole thing was a scam.
Anyone who believed that sobbing has to be so so gullible.She did the same in the Salmond case and was just waiting for her opportunity today---"Look at poor old innocent me"------It doesn't wash anymore-she is a charlatan and compulsive LIAR.
She is a utter disgrace ,instead of saving lives she spent all her time and her phones scoring political points
oh cry me a river
If people believe any word she says then you must be an SNP supporter her crocodile tears don't wash she is looking for sympathy
You can't sour a lemon, mate.
Why has it taken so long to expose Sturgeon even when covide hit the UK. Sturgeon was still divisive between Scotland and England during the pandemic.

You will never ever compete with the wine parties and unlawful VIP lane for mates that the whole UK knows about. Trying forever to pin her down to a lie when the greatest of all was UK PM during a pandemic can only work negatively to the Scottish public. The questioner went way beyond the purpose of an inquiry to try and forensically catch her out.
It was obvious at the time that Sturgeon was playing a game. Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Oh she's got a reputation alright, just not the one she's schemed for all these years.

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.

She's SNP to the core. Everything coming to light was entirely predictable because of that. Independence as a policy is lunacy. Everyone but the SNP realised that from the start, hence why they're so out of step with everyone. Chickens are coming home to roost now thankfully!

stop procrastinating and just say what everyone wants to hear,she has killed Scotland (and oap's in care homes)used burner phones,lied daily,never used professors (failed dentist and a nobody) misuse of funds she and her cohorts need jailed
Sturgeon never had a reputation anytime!
No more fishy jokes - Sturgeon is a snake.
Sorry is 5 letter word that did not come from the heart, sorry she is being found out.
How many people did she make cry with her fascist behavior ?
The only people she cares about is her muslim family , im sure she joined them ,but hasnt come out yet.
She never had a reputation to start with. But nowt's gonna happen anyway. Probably still got the money somewhere. And these two in the studio sound like apologists.
This woman is only crying and apologized because shes being held to account! She was confident and tyrannical up till now! Dishonest!
Her reputation is in the sewer , not just soured .🤮🤮🤮🤮😂
Crocodile tears and denials...... basically what we expected
Soured! Thats putting it likely. Are you a fan?
Crocodile tears! The only person she is sorry for is herself - there is no contrition - only self preservation
If it were up to me she’d be in handcuffs facing a trial.

she never accepted blame for anything while in power always blaming others,and assuming megalomania.thought the people of scotland arent worthh listening to she knows better
She and her henchmen are directly responsible for the deaths of many of our vulnerable cotizens, lets no forget..
Why can't we have Scottish journalists discussing this. Its a Scottish problem of their making.
He must have been listening to a different recording. She was not contrite and the tears were not genuine.
Is the title ironic. She doesn’t have reputation except for being a liar
😂😂😂 sturgeon and reputation don't belong in the same sentence
She does not have a heart She has as we say up hear in Scotland no heart just a swinging brick.
Soured? Destroyed, more like!
Soured 🤔 not sure if thats more or less than tainted
Was it ever sweet?

He apologist for Nicola sturgeon yes Thomas. John Boothman The Times yes Thomas. Politics correspondent. Brilliant content. Thanks. If italy close Scottish parliament down like Spain. 129 MSP's, it 90 votes for Gender Bill Scotland it finished Nicola sturgeon. What finished Boris Johnson Partygate.
