FIRST Minister Humza Yousaf has defended his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon amid growing pressure from opposition leaders over WhatsApp messages sent…
Yousaf also insisted that ministers were fully cooperating with the inquiry, and that he was handing over unredacted messages between himself and Scottish ministers, UK ministers, and even members of the opposition.It comes after the former first minister told journalists earlier this week that she was not a member of any WhatsApp groups during the Covid-19 pandemic, after reports alleged she had deleted a number of electronic messages.
"Nicola Sturgeon went on television to say she couldn’t withhold messages even if she wanted to, but this week it was reported that Nicola Sturgeon has deleted her WhatsApp messages. Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone intervened and said MSPs are"required to conduct themselves in an orderly manner".
