Nicola Sturgeon branded Boris Johnson a “f****** clown” in a series of messages during the then prime minister’s “f****** excruciating” announcement of a second national lockdown for England, an inquiry has heard.
Humza Yousaf has apologised “unreservedly” for the Scottish Government’s handling of requests for messages from the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
It came as the Scottish First Minister began giving evidence to the inquiry, sitting in Edinburgh, on Thursday afternoon.
He described his Government’s handling of inquiry requests as “frankly poor” and offered an apology.
Jamie Dawson KC, lead counsel to the current module of the inquiry, put it to Mr Yousaf that it is “important” for the messages to be retained so proper lessons can be learned.
Mr Yousaf said: “I apologise unreservedly to the inquiry and to those mourning the loss of a loved one.”
The First Minister, who was Scottish health secretary from May 2021 until March 2023, said he believes there were times that decisions made during the pandemic by his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon were not “cascaded” to the rest of the cabinet.
Former first minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond joins Mike Graham to discuss the outcomes of the inquiry.
