Sturgeon Blasts Johnson as Clown with Chaotic Pandemic Response in Leaked Texts
- Nicola Sturgeon called Boris Johnson a "clown" and his COVID-19 announcement "excruciating" in texts to her chief of staff
- Sturgeon was offended by Johnson's "incompetence" and her staffer said his communication was "chaotic"
- The relationship between Sturgeon and Johnson broke down during the pandemic with calls seen as "pointless"
- Inquiry saw texts about wanting a "rammy" with UK government over furlough and using it for political timing
- Inquiry chair suggested it looked like government sought to "politicise the pandemic" to advance independence
