Thousands of crucial messages sought by the UK public inquiry have been wiped from the phones of up to 70 Scottish government ministers, revealing a major scandal. Full disclosure is crucial for the families of Covid-19 victims to understand what really happened behind the scenes.
When the Sunday Mail revealed demands for SNP ministers to release Covid-19 WhatsApp messages ex-health secretary Jeane Freeman went on national radio to call it a “non-story”.
Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon and her deputy John Swinney are among those who no longer have crucial data on their mobile phones. The contents have revealed the utter chaos, infighting and incompetence at the heart of Downing Street as Covid-19 ripped through the country, claiming thousands of lives.
If lessons are to be learned it is crucial to know what was really going on behind the scenes and that is not something that will be apparent from any official register.
