First Min Sturgeon Did Not Break Ministerial Code: Independent Report

SCOTLAND

An independent report into the actions of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon regarding an alleged conspiracy against former First Minister Alex Salmond has found that Sturgeon did not break the ministerial code.

  • Link to report: https://www.gov.scot/publications/independent-repo...
  • This finding significantly reduces pressure on the first minister, who would have been under heavy pressure to resign after 7 years in office if she was found to have broken the ministerial code.
  • Sturgeon's pro-independence Scottish National Party has seen its polling support drop in recent weeks, hit both by the Salmond scandal, ongoing party infighting, and the successful rollout of the COVId-19 vaccine UK-wide denting the appeal of Scottish independence.
  • With Sturgeon set to remain in office, attention now turns to the 6 May Scottish Parliament elections, where the SNP is attempting to win a majority to boost the prospect of another independence referendum being called.
