Asked at her daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday how she felt about the expected visit while strict travel restrictions were in place, Ms Sturgeon replied she was "not ecstatic" about it.
Ahead of his trip he said: ""The great benefits of cooperation across the whole of the UK have never been clearer than since the beginning of this pandemic. "That's how we are delivering for the people of Scotland so we can ensure the strongest possible recovery from the virus."Under the current Covid regulations, people are only able to travel between Scotland and England for essential reasons, with similar regulations also in place to stop travel across council boundaries within Scotland.
Let the Scots have a referendum. After Brexshit it was inevitable the United Kingdom was going to break up.
Maybe he’s coming to check why she’s so shit at sorting the NHS and vaccinations up here.
I don’t understand they want independence but then have moaned they have not had confirmed money from gov... if they leave would they get any?
Nicola Sturgeons want to be the queen bee of Scotland. She stings, anyone of more importance than herself. She thinks it’s her territory. No room for anyone else but herself and her cult. Similar to Trump.
BBCPolitics Nicola Sturgeons want to be the queen bee of Scotland. She stings anyone of more importance than herself.
Sturgeon is not in any position to warn anyone.
Don't forget, we own Scotland 👌🇬🇧
Can England become independent of the government please?
Kids should go back to school
This is what makes him great💙
BritishBC stirring it again. If it wasn’t for Danger Mouse I’d stop paying my license fee.
Travel is permitted for work
this woman has lost the plot, she knows her days are numbered
She doesn't want him to tell her what she doesn't want to hear. He has a duty to keep us together plus if he didn't visit vaccine centres people would say why isn't he interested, he can't win
Is Nicola the women that is attending some hearing about if she lied or not .When she could have done it on zoom
Can’t stand Johnson but it’s time NicolaSturgeon grew up and stopped acting as a wee whiner - if it’s ok for her to travel around the country it’s ok for the actual Prime Minister - respect the office if you want respect yourself
Good to see the prime minister of the UK visiting Scotland hopefully all UK countries can work together , together out of this lockdown .. all the best for Scotland hope you guys can get out of your lockdown ASAP..
Despite common sense
Doing his job unlike who are running scared on reporting Salmond investigations?
Nicolas warning pleeease
Really !
Ooh she's warned him has she... She is his subordinate.
Correct decision BorisJohnson
Sturgeon doesn't want Boris there because Boris will see how badly she's f*cked Scotland up.
Well done Boris! Bgger the BBC.
Hope he arrives on the flying scotsman
BorisJohnson should stop off at 999 call centres, ambulance stations and hospitals in northern England, to thank them on behalf of NicolaSturgeon Scotland for covering their NHS failures. FMQs
Prime minister of the UK. May be she missed the memo?
Nicola’s probably concerned that it will reduce the interest in her daily party political broadcast disguised as a briefing and scared that mention will be made of the rot at the heart of the SNP as exposed in the Salmond matter.
We dont need England fly tipping this overstuffed sofa in our backyard
Good! You’re the PRIME MINISTER of the UK and have every right to visit! Welcome!!
What about Celtic’s trip to Dubai... was that essential?
I think there should be another vote, but until that’s held and won, Scotland remains in the union and he’s the PM. This whining about his visit is so petty and transparent
He shouldn't be visiting anywhere, taking the piss , hasn't he heard of zoom zoom_us 🤣 I hate Scotland anyway they're always whining they want to be independent I would just tell them to f*** off and go for it then but they want our money ...
BBCPolitics Totally unnecessary, superspreader BBCPolitics steelwatch1
Well - if he was unpopular north of the border before this ..........
He can fire her 🤣
Who is she to say our leader shouldn’t do anything; is she not just a first minister who is very likely to loose the vote very soon? Yep I get why she’s worried he’s gone there
All animals are equal but some are more equal than the others. Apparently lockdown2021 does not apply to BorisJohnson LockHimUpNow Scotland ToryLies ToryScum ToryIncompetence
what do you mean by ' despite ' ? the pm needs no permission from the wee jumped up councillor to do anything.
How much does it cost to visit a country that doesn’t want him there?
One rule for him and another for the rest of us 🤬🤬🤬
Well that's it then, if the PM is going to ignore the rules, so am I
Nicola Sturgeon warning........ I nearly pished ma breeks when I read that!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kenny MacAskill travelling all over the place and this is the story? Ridiculous
A disgrace. All for a photo op. And what about the disruption a PM visit causes?
Is it appropriate for BorisJohnson to visit Scotland at this time? COVID19
He would - there is something wrong with him.
He is the pm of the UK shut her mouth
Warning! 😆🤣
Give sturgeon the respect she's owed....... none whatsoever. Good on Boris.
Feck all to do with her. I absolutely want to see my PM up here seeing how badly things are going and seeing what can be done about it. Why are the BBC so pro Sturgeon? That's the question I want to know.
Why is Sturgeon not wanting Johnson in Scotland ? Is it because he might be popular
You should be focusing in the pandemic
Despite her warnings? She doesn’t even follow her own rules and lied to the Scottish parliament for her own gain. Who is she to warn anyone?
Despite Nicola Sturgoen warning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no one cares what Nicola Sturgeon says 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣breathe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When will you start reporting on the utterly corrupt sh*tshow that is the SNP government The Salmond stitch up - witholding evidence - The Craig Murray affair - The Rangers trial The list is endless - Sturgeon is Europe's answer to Mugabe -- a danderous little dictator
Nicola Sturgeon needs to wind her neck in. This is the PM of the UK & if she can travel back & forth from Edinburgh to Glasgow every day in the full knowledge that Bute House is available to her requiring zero travel. She has no children so she is not HAVING to get back to them?
He procured the Covid vaccine for Scotland, would people wish to see that stopped at the border too! 🙄
Braw! Jings! Her Majesty's First Meeniester in Scotland is a richt glum plum and nae mistakes. Cheer up First Meenister, at least Auld Joabie Prince Fat 'Eck isnae pinchin yer scone, jist houfin yer phoney reputation through the stoor!
So virtual meeting out of the equasion needless trip breaking his own lockdown rules every one will question it let's all do it mayhem proludes
Nicola pop the kettle on your boss is coming ,there’s a good girl!
Why? Thought it was against the Covid rules to travel long distances. Also did t Nichola come to no 10not too long ago.
Scotland is another country, the UK is a collection of countries from the Empire. And yes Johnson is again breaking his own rules while expecting poorer people to follow them under a penalty for not doing so. But his visit will only help the argument for independence
BBCPolitics If Greg Wallace can virtually visit the inside of a factory using remote video then the lazy Prime Minister can see how it's done and follow his own rules and work from home. ToryCovidCatastrophe ResignJohnson One rule for Tories another for the rest of us CummingsGate
and so he should
It is damn all to do with NicolaSturgeon. BorisJohnson is the PM of the UK you in should actually remember that. ResignSturgeon
Its got nothing to do with sturgeon
Judykyra Excellent
He's the PM of the whole UK, Sturgeon can do one.
Oh no, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is visiting part of the United Kingdom! How dare he do such a terrible thing 😭😭😤😤
I really don't care for your headline here. It is hardly neutral.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland gets to decide what is essential travel and what isn’t. Not Nicola Sturgeon and her spiteful band of Scottish Nationalists.
Sturgeon warning 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 shes nothing but a glorified mayor, he is the PM of the United Kingdom, he can go where he wants its his job 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Make the prck isolate when he gets there! Non essential travel, one rule for them another for the rest of us. toryscum
Cant blame him...he needs a United country not someone taking advantage of the situations to further her own agenda
BBCPolitics He is doing his job, and from what I can remember you can travel to where you are working.
Nicola Sturgeon is as out of control as the Coronavirus
Tell Wee Nippy to.
Arrest him
Michael Gove defends Johnson’s travels on r4today. Emulating Trump, needs to travel around the UK “to see things for himself”. So millions of ppl video conferencing fro home to avoid travel, you’re wasting your time. Get on motorways, trains and planes and follow his example.
In normal times I couldn't care less if he came to Scotland, but there's no need for this visit during a pandemic and I doubt the people he is coming to 'thank' are that bothered about seeing him either.
Does that mean someone from the will have to visit Scotland too? Not sure the native reporters will appreciate a foreign species on their soil. theSNP certainly won’t appreciate Boris poking around asking questions like “What happened to all the money we sent you?”
Good
She never fkn warned the ersehole!! Jist explained rules in a way that him and journos could understand!! Simply!
'Is your journey essential?' Leading by example again, eh, Prime Minister?
Tw
We can't travel this weekend to visit a grave on the first anniversary and yet he can travel from London to Scotland makes a mockery of the people that follow the rules. Whatever he needs to say can be done via a zoom call ..
Non essential travel. He just doesn't get it does he?
What wee Jimmy and the SNP has to realise, like it or lump it, until she gets the independence she so desperately craves, she can't stop the UK's PM going there on business. Notice they were happy to receive the vaccines secured by the UK not having to wait in line for the EU?🙄
She doesn’t want him to go does she! Surprised she’s not yelled “Gerroff my land”
Too late
This is not essential travel, anything to avoid work.
Shouldn't that be nicola krankie
He’s the boss. She’s little more than a city mayor.
We can't even go 20 miles to deliver our Grandsons birthday present as not seen as essential travel or perhaps we should follow his example and say that will ok
A totally pointless and unnecessary trip which will hopefully backfire on him
BBCPolitics Please keep him!!!
Well he is the British prime minister
BBCPolitics If he goes he get's moaned at if he doesn't he'd get moaned at..He's the PM , Scotland is still part of the union at the moment.
Does Sturgeon forget that Scotland is part of the UK therefore Boris is her boss.
Naga Manchetty thinks she is so cocky when she interviews the Ministers. Boris is going to Scotland today, part of the Uk, but still people criticise, more so Miss Know All !!
Pot kettle black NicolaSturgeon who was on the naughty step for not wearing a mask recently! Having said that essential journeys for the PM I do wonder ?! there is Zoom and Teams! Depends what the real ultimate objective of the visit is?!
Get ra polis tae lift him fur leavin home!
It’s just her playing politics again.
BBCPolitics High Street doesn’t want him
He certainly will not be seeing the wee ms jimi kranky,at the Glasgow Royal. 🤔🤣🤣
Just like that clown Ianblackford_MP coming down to Westminster !!!
Priorities
Cheeky indeed. He is the PM. She is about on a par with a council leader.
JacobKumenda NicolaSturgeon Boris Johnson doesn't do warnings
As ever the BBC 'forgets' to report: Ms Sturgeon makes a daily 100 mile round trip with a chauffeur.✅ It mentions the SNP 11 point indy plan. ✅ It fails to mention the investigation into Ms Sturgeon's govt ✅ Anyone would think the BBC are the SNPs media outlet...
Can he stay there?
Good he’s the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and it’s his job to be visible by all its peoples
Good. Sturgeon is no more than glorified council official.
Poor them. And he has lost the plot. Wasn’t his pretend Scottish summer camping trip enough to persuade the Scottish people that he gives a toss about them?
BBCPolitics she's a minister he's the pm..think she has to grand a ideas..Queen nicola is it..
There’s no reason why he can’t do his meeting via zoom. It’s all double standards. This isn’t staying at home and it’s not acting like he’s got the virus. Absolute hypocrite. He’s clearly not frightened so why should we be. 🤷♀️
He's the Prime Minister of Great Britain (not just England love) and he can go where he wants to. Sturgeon and her dodgy lot (Salmon et al) must have something to hide! She'll bankrupt Scotland - let her!
BorisJohnson wrong wrong wrong!!!!!!!!
in may we will remind him of this
Rotten fruit and veg on stand by. Let's be having you bobo
Unbelievable. How many other people will travel with him? How can he guarantee that none are carrying the virus or will take it back with them? How many may others may catch it as a consequence and how many of them will die? This bloke just makes one bad decision after another
Why are the BBC retweeting there own tweet again and again on this subject
Good. Her orders should not carry any weight where the PM of the U.K. is concerned. She is nothing but a caretaker/manager of part of the U.K. Nicola does seem to get very distracted over territorial matters.
Lovely, a few days away, can’t wait !
We literally hate this prick
Fuck I loathe this self serving man. He is not a leader in any sense & Brexit is the worst thing. A non binding referendum. 🤦🏼♀️ Cameron, May, Farage and Johnson - may they never know peace or a good night’s rest ever again. The Tories don’t give a fuck about the average Brit 🤬🤬
If he comes to Scotland then i'm allowed to go where i want
Sturgeon is much like the EU, hostile and arrogant. Be careful sturgeon, you may want independence, but other countries are watching your behaviour and would not want you as a partner should your Queen of a kingdom wish come true!
More good news please(((
I think it might be linked to his job. I am watching journalist all over the country to stand outside a building to deliver the patter.. is that necessary
In the middle of a pandemic, when we are all being told to stay at home to protect the NHS, Boris does a Cummings. Why does he think he is so different from the rest of us?
I would have two words for BorisJohnson and the second would be 'off', just another display of arrogance from a man whose decisions have cost the lives of many citizens, he is not fit to govern...😷
I can’t visit my folks but he can visit Scotland johnsonout
She is getting confused! Boris is her boss and he tells her what to do, not the other way round.
Well done BorisJohnson , you are the PM and AlynSmith is a joke. Bitter and angry that the union is strong. I can’t believe the cheek of snp questioning it. All nations deserve a visit and representation. Imagine If you didn’t visit? They’d say you didn’t care.
YES
Stay home...protect our NHS...do as I say...not as I do.
I hope she has him arrested 🤣
It'd be tragic if Nicola Sturgeon had a bit of a cough and had to isolate while he was there and couldn't see the chump.
'Downing Street, however, insisted it was important for the prime minister to be 'visible and accessible' across the whole of the UK during the pandemic'. The general public won't see it this way 🙄
Remember it’s not just him that’s coming. It will be his staff and security. Totally unnecessary, and completely reckless.
Typical Sturgeon playing politics and point scoring
Important for him to be 'visible and accessible'? To a country that didn't vote for him and don't want him anywhere near them? Makes a lot of sense
Well nickeardleybbc this is more than just ‘a row between Edinburgh and London’. Much more than that, it is whether it breaks Scottish guidelines and what example it sets to the public.
De Pfeffel does not give a cockwomble
Lead by example!
Why is he travelling?
The PM is the PM of Scotland ! She just does not want to get caught out !
It’s the Duty of the U.K. PM! If he didn’t visit to show his support & to show Scotland is very much part of the U.K. then when this blows over he’d receive a torrent of abuse for “ignoring” Scotland. Just look at the backlash he received for not visiting flood victims last year
Can he stay there
Tell her off Sir!!! She's at risk of committing Treason; like Theresa...
Leave it out 🤬you have enough in your plate
Borisstayhomeyouass.
“Mr Johnson is expected to emphasise the strength of the UK working together in the fight against Covid-19” - but we have 4 devolved health systems that are demonstrably not working together as each has implemented different measures.
Tell him to fuck off!
This will be entertaining..
NicolaSturgeon I think BorisJohnson has long COVID.
Boris is always a brave leader.
Mask over nose!! What’s so hard to understand about it? If the mask is not well fitted OVER the nose it’s not protecting anyone.
Warning! Who does she think she is?
It’s a bad day when a first minister first insults the royal family on a visit to Scotland and then doesn’t want the Prime Minister! Things are becoming bad from this racist woman!
From the woman who took her mask off at a funeral gathering in a pub
Good on you bojo!
Essential travel What do you think nadhimzahawi setanexample leadership
Sounds like fun
Sending Boris to Scotland to save the Union
He’s a ✨karela ✨
BorisJohnson are you okay
Absolutely pathetic from Sturgeon, he is the Prime Minister, she already thinks she rules Scotland like some Queen, she is letting the power go to her head.
Is BorisJohnson & Douglas4Moray arriving in his new bus & explain to the people of Scotland we will have our country back 😜👍
Must not be insight to potential violence?
Keep away. Stay home. Protect the NHS. Forget that Boris did you ?
As long as Premiership football continues, with 22 blokes kissing and hugging each other in different cities every week....I’m continuing not to follow ANY of the Covid rules and restrictions. The government are laughing in your faces. This scripted agenda is criminal.
And so he should. He's Scotland Prime minister after all
Stay home Nothing to do here Protect us is more wise than spreading covid possibly in a pandemic
No surprise there from wee Krankie and the Brexit Bashing Corporation supporting her
NicolaSturgeon is only saying this to fire up the SNP base. NicolaSturgeon is on wee power trip the now soon this pandemic over the better
NicolaSturgeon . I hope.that when BorisJohnson lands he is fined for breaking covid rules. I hope the nhs staff turn there back on him. Disrespectful to everyone in scotland that has tried for 11 months. Toughen up.
That should go well. His brilliant handling of the Pandemic - Brexit, which has seen Scottish fisherman filling their pockets with cash -and his general popularity in Scotland, should quell any idea of independence.
Recently, my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (blood cancer). My friend, Jason and his wife are first time parents and could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
Last I knew, the Prime Minister of the UK was the leader of the country that is The United Kingdom & it it is not only right, but completely appropriate to visit one of the constituent nations to make sure they are ok? He's done his bit in England, Scotland is equally important?
i don't think borisjohnson realises how repulsive he is
Borish has to keep chasing rainbows.
Remember he has already had covid and probably the vaccination 🤦♂️ he has a public duty to travel
Excellent!!! Another several thousand supporters for independence. He’s a great recruiter. 🏴
Oh Boris another piss poor, send the wrong message decision on ur part to make another totally unnecessary trip. U never learn - or maybe just toooooo arrogant!
Perhaps Nicola should be concerned that the PM will find out what she is up to in her little Fiefdom?
Work from home if you can
Up yours Nicola
policescotland NicolaSturgeon hope he is getting fined? I can barely get to Tesco with a dirty look and feeling like a criminal. And I’m not partially responsible for 100,000 deaths
The first policeman/woman from Police Scotland who stops and fines him needs to be made a saint
Not essential. He should stay at home and learn how to comb his hair.
free Scotland
Destroy Chinese and China for survival
Boris, people forget you also had Brexit to deal with, you are doing alright now, stick with it. Never mind the little Cranky woman or this other guy.
I am a mere spectator but story says he is likely to thank staff for essential work, yet NicolaSturgeon says that is not essential? Me thinks it is BorisJohnson job as PM of UK to recognise the valiant effort of of out key workers, f2f better than Zoom
Go and talk to the fishing businesses that you’ve bankrupted
isn't this the dude that nearly died cuz of covid?, 😑
Sturgeon and her Hard nationalist friends need putting back in the boxes.
Boris doesn't need to take orders from Wee Jimmie Crankie!
Is he meeting with his mate Trump?
Good on him. He’s a lot more welcome than sturgeon !
“visit Scotland...” like he’s some sort of tourist there... he’s the Prime Minister for crying out loud.
Keep it up Boris....🤦🏻♂️
Boris yesterday: “We did everything we could.” Also Boris: Cycles 7 miles away from home, backed Cummings when he breached lockdown rules, didn’t close the borders, spent billions on a failed track and trace system, is now travelling to Scotland on a non-essential trip...
He's PM of the country, WTF is she? Just a councillor.
Covid Spreading Terrorist 😷😷
👎
Who is she to warn when she roames arnd without a mask herself and her party people are caught travelling in public transport while being covid positive!
We’ve had people from Kent up here , Wales, I’ve met people 600 metres up a hill from England . All before Christmas. A popular border shopping centre at Gretna was allowing English lockdown shoppers. Who’s faults that?
I hope Scotland can get independence from these Tory gits.....royals and otherwise
NicolaSturgeon JUST SAY NO!!!!!
Good. This isnt the 13th Century.
Hey Nicola I got something for ya .....
This guy says stay at home. This guy is getting people fined for traveling 10 miles but hes going to Scotland!
NicolaSturgeon keeps moaning that Scotland can not control their own borders? BorisJohnson is travelling as part of his job as PM for the United Kingdom. Sturgeon has no right to try and stop Boris going to Scotland then. Now does the SNP control their borders or not?
Perhaps dear Nicola doesn’t realise she’s just a council leader 🤔
Nicola Sturgeon needs to wind her neck in. She’s the team leader of the shortbreadsenate she needs to have a day off from her hate filled life. He is more welcome than she is. We are the U.K. she’s turning Scotland into a hostile state ResignSturgeon
I don't think he will be welcome. Het the beer and nuts in, enjoy the show
He could just use his phone with the photoshopped cord 🤷♂️
They need in every town a guy who says to him: 'We don't want you in our town, go home*' *even in London (there to hell)
BorisJohnson you are very welcome. Maybe you'll meet Blackford on his way down to London. Perhaps the Scottish lorry drivers who were illegally demonstrating at Westminster could have given you a ride north.
Why is this irresponsible man making an unnecessary journey? What will happen if he is detained by police at the border?
Damn, the UK still has Trump 2.0 in power. Remedy this.
BorisOut
Essential travel?
Good. Who the fuck is she to warn the UK Prime Minister.
Off to plant a George Cross in the middle of Holyrood.
This is not going to achieve what he wants it to...
Boris we love you and stand by you, your doing a great job, keep working hard and doing as your doing! My prime minister❤️
Fantastic boost for Scottish independence. The coward will lock himself away up here, won't have the balls to walk the streets.
Geezs tryna run a country... let him be🥱
He's not taken the hint has he? 😂
Boris is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Last time I checked Scotland was part of the United Kingdom and we have freedom of internal movement.
what’s she warning? “stay out or I’ll hunt you down” sounds awfully conservative
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN.
why?
