Nicola Sturgeon on Coronavirus, Alex Salmond and βNo-Deal Brexitβ
47% of all coronavirus deaths in Scotland were in care homes. In an interview with Newsnightβs Kirsty Wark, Nicola Sturgeon rejected suggestions her governmentβs handling of the crisis in care homes was a fundamental mistake in public policy.
The first minister also said the impact of a no-deal Brexit would be βpretty catastrophicβ and to add the economic impact of that onto the hit of coronavirus would be βan unthinkable thing to doβ.
Ms Sturgeon also said allegations that her allies tried to bring down former First Minister Alex Salmond is a βheap of nonsenseβ and there was βno conspiracyβ against her predecessor.
