The Scottish Sun Nicola Sturgeon went out of her way to be “different” from England on pandemic curbs for “political” reasons, an ex Downing Street aide has told the UK Covid inquiry.
Lord Edward Udny-Lister - one of Boris Johnson’s key advisers - also claimed the then Prime Minister and Ms Sturgeon “generally didn’t like each other very much”.
And he said the former First Minister attempted to frame decisions as “Scottish” rather than “English” by taking the same course of action on different days.
He suggested that by doing so, Ms Sturgeon created “a great deal of distrust” and a “lot of frustration”.
The claims came in explosive evidence to the UK Covid inquiry, and following controversy during the pandemic about the First Minister repeatedly taking a harder stance than Downing Street.
