Sturgeon says she deleted pandemic WhatsApp messages due to security concerns
Whatsa messages between yourself and Mr Yousef and Miss Lloyd were produced by you with your second statement where did you get them uh they were provided uh to me through the Scottish government you you obviously didn’t have those on your own devices because you deleted them had
You I didn’t retain them in line with the the the procedure I’ve already talked about are you creating a distinction between delet no um you had deleted them had you not I think deletion I think um forgive me I think sounds as if it was a sort of uh you
Know not bothering to check whether any information was being retained I was very thorough and not just in the pandemic but in all my work in government to ensure that things were appropriate appropriately recorded but in line with the advice I’d always been given since my first day in government
Propa probably was not to retain conversations like that on a phone that could be lost or stolen and therefore not secure but did you delete them yes

When will they admit lockdowns were wrong? 🤔
Nippy Deletey
The hiding of all this information pales in comparison of Boris having birthday cake…
Liar liar hahaha
This is so blatant.
Corrupt, bent UK ministers trying to put Sturgeon down. Especially after their own corruption and wrongdoings. The uk really is a vile country run by the lowest kind of beaurocrats….
Throw away the key!
😂😂😂😂 Security concerns ? Implying the information was sensitive
Yeah, right. The security of HER future.
i didn't see anything 🙈
i didn't hear anything 🙉
i didn't smell anything 🙊
The Guardian should be at the enquiry with other members of the media!
Total fibs from a total fibber.
The Guardian should be with her in the enquiry
Jail her and her conspirators
After all the damage this insect. has done Id be more worried about security now,!
Ok then so all WhatsApp conversations were made part of the government record and not just deleted? And where is the government record of those conversations ?
de·lete verb
remove or obliterate (written or printed matter), especially by drawing a line through it:
"the passage was deleted"
Johnson had to procure his whatsapp in court, you shot him down yet you deleted your own whatsapp….. tomfoolery and skulduggery krankie, those poor scottish souls you were supposed to protect, when you only wanted to protect YOU!
She lies with ease.
She is so corrupt and wicked. So is her thief husband.
Lots of info on Google about how to retrieve deleted WhatsApp s
