Description

WhatsApp communications during the pandemic cause trouble in Holyrood and Westminster. As the UK Covid Inquiry continues, some of the submitted messages between Government officials paint a revealing (and sometimes expletive-laden) picture of decision making during the pandemic. Meanwhile in Holyrood, senior figures in the Scottish Government have been accused of deleting messages requested by the UK Covid inquiry. First Minister Humza Yousaf has said he has not removed any of his own messages, and The Scottish Government has said it would submit 14,000 messages to the inquiry by Monday. Political correspondent David Wallace Lockhart and Political Editor Glenn Campbell sit down and discuss what the last week of drama means for the Westminster and Scottish Governments.
