The SNP leader said bereaved families deserve answers about the response to the pandemic in light of what she described as “shameful remarks” allegedly made by the Prime Minister.

Johnson has denied saying said he would rather see “bodies pile high” than impose a third lockdown, although the claims have been corroborated to both the BBC and ITV.
