Nicola Sturgeon, the former First Minister of Scotland, has been the focus of a Covid inquiry that has revealed public spats, missing WhatsApp messages, and accusations that she could 'cry out of one eye if she wanted to'. Political editor of HuffPost UK, Kevin Schofield, commented on Sturgeon's emotional appearance at the inquiry, stating that ‘people who would have given her the benefit of the doubt in the past, won’t give her the benefit of the doubt now.’ The inquiry has been summarized in a 90-second segment by BBC Scotland News. Additionally, commentators have criticized Sturgeon's handling of the pandemic, noting that Scots paid a heavy price for her lockdowns and despite stricter measures than England, Scotland experienced a higher death rate. The situation has led to a broader examination of Sturgeon's legacy and her track record in Scotland, with some calling for her resignation.
