The first minister says that 'all sorts of nonsense' is being levelled at her over the Alex Salmond inquiry.

Nicola Sturgeon has insisted she has "nothing whatsoever to hide" over Holyrood's Alex Salmond inquiry.

She claimed Ms Sturgeon had "misled parliament" over when she had first learned of the complaints against Mr Salmond.And she suggested that Ms Sturgeon had done so because she knew she had broken the ministerial code by not having the meeting with Geoff Aberdein - a former aide to Mr Salmond - minuted.

Ms Sturgeon said she was "pretty shocked and upset" about the meeting with Mr Salmond, and said she was willing to testify about it to the Holyrood inquiry under oath."All sorts of nonsense has been levelled at me on this. I have had two years or more of people making accusations about my conduct - it's not my conduct that sparked any of this.

She had insisted she held this meeting in her capacity as SNP leader, not as first minister, meaning no official record had to be taken. But she said she "had forgotten this meeting had taken place" because it took place "in the midst of a busy day".Leslie Evans insisted that the government was not out to "get" Mr Salmond

Lawyer David McKie wrote that it was "extraordinary" that the government intended to produce "material that has been reduced as unlawful by court order".

That remains to be seen. Let's let the enquiry decide that

Sounds fishy.

Yes wait and see she always blames someone else like she will when the economy now crashes in Scotland

You sure?

Yeah, right.

She would say that wouldnt she? Shocking biased angle for a headline

Wait out!

Where have I heard that before.

I'm not hearing anything from NicolaSturgeon or Ianblackford_MP regarding Maggie COVID. Considering she put hundreds of people at risk & probably broke the rules more than anyone. Has she been fined, if not why waste time with more COVID rules that don't need to be followed?

That she can remember...

Then why does she look a little

Saw the debate on Sky. She defended herself well, she is genuine, honest and willing to answer questions. Ruth Davidson simply had no arguments with any substance, just constructed noise. BTW, I am German, not Scottish.

She has to resign over this Sturgeonresign

The 'woke' BBC.....but not quite woke enough to call out their wee darlin Nippy over forgetting claims of sexual misconduct against her predecessor and mentor of 30 years? BBC = Fans with laptops.

Hmmmmmmmm 🤔

We will see?

🤔

Sorry you can't forget that lol up to her neck in it. Maybe we need Boris to go up there and sort it out 😂

Why would Jimmy Krankie know?

Except her belly button piercing.....

Nothing to hide? She was deep in conversation about how where and when to meet up to discuss the whole mess

So that’s why she’s hiding everything?

She’s hiding a cock n baws between her legs

How do you forget something like that? Hilarious

Brainfade? Err...

Just that it slipped her mind

Yeah right 😂

She is hiding the truth

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Her memory is just a bit temperamental......

She won’t remember if she has anything to hide or not ...

REALLY.
