Scotland's chief medical officer resigns after breaching lockdown by visiting second home

Top Scottish medic 'truly sorry' for breaking rules

But Ms Sturgeon added:"It is, however, clear that the mistake she made - even though she has apologised sincerely and honourably for it - risks distracting from and undermining confidence in the government's public health message at this crucial time. That is not a risk either of us is willing to take."Just a few days ago, Dr Calderwood tweeted out a photo of her family clapping at their Edinburgh residence in celebration of NHS staff working to stop the spread of the virus.

I live in London and recently bought my 2nd home on Lochness. I was so eager to leave London before the lockdown and head up to lochness . BUT i listened to the Government and remain in London, she must be better than the rest. Its a bloody joke.

Sturgeon needs to be replaced.....and not just with someone wayyyyyyy better looking..

What a c**t ! . Gynaecological term

Gross misconduct gross misjudgment she had to go,how thick can you be visit your 2nd home not once but twice highest incompetence shown

I think it's very harsh

It’s pure arrogance. Not a mistake(s). A clear case of ‘do as I say, not as I do’.

Young Boris shook hands with corona virus patients 😂😂 Freely and openly admitted it for the World to see. On national TV. He is still in a job? He is in a hospital now possibly dead but still in a job? ......... LOLOL wtf is going on softness?

What about naming and shaming and forcing the sunbathers and bbqs lot in news , name and shame them to resign from society , at least Calderwood did some good compared to these no brain cell morons in the parks

She should be put in quarantine, in a mental institution.... 😂

What took her so long? She should have resigned straight away! It’s “do as I say not as I do”. Is Nicola not saying anything? piersmorgan I hope you get to interview Nicola Sturgeon tomorrow morning!

Only right she should be ashamed.

No letter yet from Charlie for bringing the virus 500miles to scotland when the country was already in LOCKDOWN I'm confident he will be issuing one apology to the Scottish Nation!!

ffs what the hell is wrong with this person?

You mean Sorry you got caught... And you mistakingly packed your bags, got in your car and drove 44 miles... Do one biach ..... 😂

Waiting for this one then.

No one is perfect.

He is self isolating!😷

Sorry for being caught more like. Dr Calderwood went on a jolly to her holiday home twice, which suggests that she had no problem with going against her own advice, and could well have continued had she not been caught.

Rank hypocrisy in times of crisis. Ta-ta hen👋 Sturgeon's admission of mistakes (that only require an apology) means she must respect any UK's Gov't mistake that is followed with an apology. No ifs or buts. Any temptation to openly criticise by Sturgeon will be hypocrisy of the highest order.
