Nicola Sturgeon has claimed Liz Truss requested her methods to get into Vogue journal once they briefly met final yr – regardless of the Tory management candidate since branding her an “attention seeker”.
The Scottish first minister stated Ms Truss “looked a little bit as if she’d swallowed a wasp” after she instructed her she had been in Vogue twice.
Ms Sturgeon was interviewed by LBC’s Iain Dale on the Edinburgh International Conference Centre in the course of the metropolis’s Fringe competition, the place she described Boris Johnson as a “disgrace to the office of prime minister”.
Asked about Ms Truss’s feedback about her, Ms Sturgeon stated she initially thought “it was made up, it was a spoof”.
She stated she had met Ms Truss throughout an occasion on the Cop26 summit in Glasgow final yr and had just lately been interviewed by Vogue journal.
She instructed the viewers: “That was the primary factor she needed to speak to me about, she needed to understand how she may get into Vogue – and she calls me an attention-seeker.
“I stated to her they got here and requested me.
“I didn’t really mean to do this, but I said to her it hadn’t actually been my first time in Vogue, it had been my second time.
“It regarded slightly bit as if she’d swallowed a wasp.
“I’m sure she’ll be in Vogue before too long.”
She continued: “I remember it because there we were at the world’s biggest climate change conference in Glasgow, world leaders about to arrive.
“That was the primary matter of dialog she was involved in pursuing. And as soon as we would exhausted that it type of dried up.
“I’m sure we’ll have many more conversations about many more substantive things.”
Earlier, Ms Sturgeon in contrast Mr Johnson together with his predecessor: “I think perhaps uncharitably I described my conversations with Theresa May when she was Prime Minister, as being soul destroying.
“I look again considerably fondly now on that.”
Ms Sturgeon said she and Mrs May “differed massively” in their political beliefs but the former prime minister “took the job critically”.
In contrast, she said her interactions with Mr Johnson were “one lengthy bluster”.
She continued: “You know, he was a 3rd prime minister I’ve handled as first minister.
“It was literally like nothing I’ve ever dealt with before in terms of any senior politician.
“You know, I’m going to be blunt right here, he was a shame to the workplace of prime minister.”
