Sturgeon called Boris a ‘f****** clown’ over ‘utter incompetence’ in handling Covid, WhatsApps reveal
Scotland’s former first minister Nicola Sturgeon called Boris Johnson a “f***ing clown” at the time of the second Covid lockdown, bombshell messages have revealed.
WhatsApp messages shared between the ex-SNP leader and her top adviser Liz Lloyd shown at the Covid inquiry demonstrated the utter disdain with which the then-prime minister was held.
Ms Sturgeon said Mr Johnson’s address announcing a second national lockdown on 31 October 2020 was “f****** excruciating” and “awful”.
She told Ms Lloyd: “His utter incompetence in every sense is now offending me on behalf of politicians everywhere”, adding: “He is a f****** clown.”
It came as SNP leader admitted the Scottish government’s handling of information was “frankly poor” – as he announced a review into how should be used in a bid to drawn a line under a series of controversies.
