Nice attempted deflection, Sturgeon knew that guidelines had been broken and initially chose to keep the CMO in post rejecting the same type of calls for action from opposition parties that are now coming from her Westminster colleague, Blackford, who says that, based on this one known transgression, Cummings has to go.vandal wrote: ↑Fri 22 May 2020, 11:07 pmI believe Nicola Sturgeon was unaware that the CMO was guilty of having travelled over two weekends.

What'll he do after his inevitable resignation?
All politicians and parties are bad but the SNP cohort at Westminster has taken sanctimony to a new level.
Same however cannot be said for Robert Jenrick, who visited his parents who lived rurally, despite writing in a newspaper column or suchlike that those living rurally should seek the help of neighbours.

The following is from an article in The Scotsman.
- It was reported that Mr Jenrick’s parents have been getting help with their groceries and medication from neighbours.
In an article two weeks ago, Mr Jenrick urged family members not to travel to visit elderly relatives and instead trust local communities to look after them. -
Whether he observed social distancing or not is irrelevant. He wrote in an article what I posted above, then he clearly ignored his own advice.
Of course Cummings should go and Jenrick should have gone but that doesn't change the fact that the SNP, and their Westminster leader in particular, are a sanctimonious bunch.
