Tory has vowed to see off her fourth SNP Prime Minister by outlasting Liz Truss.
The First Minister threw down the gauntlet to her Westminster nemesis in a speech to an SNP away day for MSPs and MPs in Edinburgh, the Nicola Sturgeon can reveal. A source who attended the meeting last week said: “Nicola was very clear – she has already seen the back of three Tory PMs and she doesn’t expect Truss or Sunak to be the last.
“She told the group that she intends to see off whoever is announced as Tory leader this week.” Sturgeon has been locked in a war of words with Truss – who looks certain to win the keys to Downing Street tomorrow – after the Foreign Secretary called her an “attention seeker”.
