Scottish Secretary Regrets Deleting Pandemic WhatsApps, Accuses Sturgeon Govt of Politicizing Covid Rules
- Scottish Secretary Alister Jack deleted all his WhatsApps from during the pandemic to free up storage space on his phone
- Jack expressed regret for deleting the messages and said he would not have done so if he could "turn back the clock"
- Jack said he did not believe Nicola Sturgeon when she denied trying to politicize the pandemic
- Jack accused the Scottish government of diverging from UK Covid rules "for the sake of it" rather than for public health reasons
- Jack claimed tensions between the UK and Scottish governments were "inevitable" because Sturgeon "saw her job as leader of a nationalist government to break up the UK"
