  • Labour Deputy leader attacks Nicola Sturgeon as she visits Scotland wearing plaid footwear

Angela Rayner put the boot into Nicola Sturgeon yesterday as she described her deletion of Covid WhatsApp messages as ‘terrible’.

The Labour deputy leader, sporting a pair of tartan Dr Martens boots, raised concerns about Scottish Government ‘secrecy’ during a visit to Scotland.

She told STV News during a visit to Glen-kinchie Distillery in East Lothian: ‘If you deleted those messages, you’re not giving the full picture and of course [the public] are going to think, cynically, why did you delete them?

‘Did you not want to give people a full and transparent view of what happened over that period?

‘I think it was wholly irresponsible and it’s this secrecy.

‘I think it’s terrible that it was deleted and the families are absolutely right to question why did you do that and question the motives for that.’
