Nicola Sturgeon on Coronavirus, Alex Salmond and ‘No-Deal Brexit’
47% of all coronavirus deaths in Scotland were in care homes. In an interview with Newsnight’s Kirsty Wark, Nicola Sturgeon rejected suggestions her government’s handling of the crisis in care homes was a fundamental mistake in public policy.
The first minister also said the impact of a no-deal Brexit would be “pretty catastrophic� and to add the economic impact of that onto the hit of coronavirus would be “an unthinkable thing to do�.
Ms Sturgeon also said allegations that her allies tried to bring down former First Minister Alex Salmond is a “heap of nonsense� and there was “no conspiracy� against her predecessor.
