Nicola Sturgeon is set to give evidence at the UK COVID-19 Inquiry today following a series of bombshell revelations.
The former Scottish first minister will appear before Baroness Heather Hallett as the inquiry holds hearings in Edinburgh.
It comes as the ex-SNP leader is facing intense scrutiny around the deletion of WhatsApp messages from the pandemic.
Ms Sturgeon has admitted messages had not been retained on her own devices but said she had managed to retrieve copies to submit to the inquiry.
In one message seen by the inquiry, she referred to then prime minister Boris Johnson as a “f****** clown.”
Ms Sturgeon may also face questions about her decision to provide public health expert Professor Devi Sridhar with her SNP email address to “privately” be contacted.
The Scottish Daily Express also reported that Ms Sturgeon bought a burner phone.
