Sturgeons side of the story doesn't stack up, Nor does her claims that Salmond is trying to smear her..
Nicola says she first learnt about the sexual abuse complaints from Alex Salmond at their meeting on 2nd April yet her Chief of Staff a month earlier spoke to Alex about the impact of the complaints on his re-standing. Did she not clear this with Nicola? Of course she must have. How could it have been party business and not government ?
Even so she went on to have other unminuted meetings with Salmond once she knew the matter was being investigated.
I like both the politicians involved but someone isn't telling the truth and it looks more likely to be sturgeon.
