Nicola Sturgeon cries giving evidence at Covid Inquiry

#covidinquiry #nicolasturgeon #whatsapp

Nicola Sturgeon became emotional and began to cry as she admitted a “large part of her” wishes she had not been in power when the pandemic struck.


Her voice broke and she appeared to shed tears as she said it was for others to judge how well she had performed.


“I was the First Minister when the pandemic struck,” she said. “There’s a large part of me that wishes that I hadn’t been. But I was. 


“And I wanted to be the best First Minister I could be during that period. It’s for others to judge the extent to which I succeeded.”


Ms Sturgeon appeared close to breaking down when asked about Boris Johnson.


She acknowledged she did not think he was the right person to be Prime Minister during the crisis. But she denied this meant she believed she was “precisely the right First Minister for the job”.


Previous hearings have shown she privately referred to Mr Johnson as a “f------ clown”.


Ms Sturgeon also appeared upset as she denied looking to use the pandemic for political gain.
