Liz Truss and Nicola Sturgeon's feud explained - from 'icy' stares to seal insults

Nicola Sturgeon and Liz Truss's relationship hasn't got off to the best of starts with the pair trading insults over the last couple of months. The First Minister and the new Prime Minister clearly don't see eye-to-eye and the feud between them hit the world stage earlier this week during a service for the Queen in Edinburgh.

Truss's visit to Scotland to accompany King Charles around the UK following the death of the Queen went by without incident, however there was one slip. She was spotted giving Sturgeon a 'cold' stare during a service of prayer and reflection at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.

During the service Sturgeon, dressed in an all black outfit and black hat, read the first lesson Ecclesiastes 3: 1–15. When the SNP leader stood up to give a reading in the Cathedral, Truss was spotted by many eagle-eyed viewers giving her an icy look. It was just the latest incident in a long line that started earlier this year during the Tory leadership race.
