Overview
- During ITV/STV’s The Assembly, which airs Friday at 10pm, Nicola Sturgeon answered a question about a “secret rendezvous” with a coy “maybe.”
- She said her separation from former SNP chief Peter Murrell was about more than his being accused of a crime and described entering a new phase of life.
- Sturgeon called her 2023 arrest in the SNP finances probe a “horrible” experience and said she went into a shutdown state and tries to block it out.
- She spoke about a past miscarriage and described feeling guilt because she had been unsure at first about having the baby.
- Murrell has been charged with embezzling almost £460,000 from SNP funds and is due to appear in court next month to enter a plea.
