Nicola Sturgeon deleted all of her WhatsApp messages from the pandemic. That’s what the UK Covid 19 inquiry in Edinburgh heard today.
The former First Minister had previously refused to say if she’d kept the communications and stated that Scottish Government decisions were not made using the messaging platform.
The inquiry also revealed that the National Clinical Director Jason Leitch referred to deleting WhatsApp messages as a “pre-bed ritual.”
The inquiry saw messages from Nicola Sturgeon’s former chief of staff describing the UK Government’s emergency COBRA meetings as a “shambles” adding that Boris Johnson ignored their calls for reassurance.
