MATT Hancock has insisted Nicola Sturgeon yearned for a travel ban with England during the Covid pandemic.
In his controversial book published on Tuesday – called Pandemic Diaries: The inside story of Britain’s battle against Covid – the former UK health secretary has repeatedly attacked the First Minister and the decisions she made throughout the crisis.
In an entry on December 19, 2020, he wrote: “In response to our Tier 4 announcement, Sturgeon announced a travel ban with the rest of the UK. I’m sure she’s been yearning to do that all her life."
