Best reaction as Sturgeon says she ‘detests the Tories’

Nicola Sturgeon went all out with her disdain for the Conservatives on Sunday morning, slamming the ruling party for setting “an incredibly low bar”.

Talking with Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC, the first minister was asked if she saw Liz Truss as a ‘friend or foe’ – making reference to a recent faux-pas the Prime Minister made when asked about French President Emmanuel Macron.
