Haaaa!!!! My god the hypocrisy

Ludicrous. How stupid can you be. Gives everyone advice to stay at home and then visits a holiday home. Her credibility has tanked

A quick 'sorry' fixes all. FFS, Lead by example.

skool girl error eh

mushroom772000 That's it then, she's apologised, end of story.🤣😂🤣

Move on What about Hancock 6days out of isolation ? Prince Charles flying to Scotland ?

She's a good friend of Nicola Sturgeon so her job is safe. That's how it works in Scotland.

Sorry but NO. Moral authority gone, credibility shot, flouting of the rules by some because of her actions. No politics please. Scotland’s population needs better leadership now. The CMO has done a great job but that’s not the point. FM also showing a poor judgement call.

Well done for apologising unreservedly. Obviously not a politician

Nothing like a bit of “Do as I say, not as I do” Everyone needs a good hypocrite telling us what to do... What next? “Let then eat cake”?

She should resign, immediately. Disgusting, dangerous double standards.

Sacked in the morning

These people should be sacked
