'jibes led to intimidation and tears'

FORMER Tory MSP and Brexit spin doctor Brian Monteith was among the MSPs making jibes about the Nicola Sturgeon "Gnasher" rumour, it is claimed.

- 

The former first minister revealed in her memoir that she ended up crying in the toilet after learning of a derogatory rumour about her injuring a former boyfriend.

The gossip led to her being referred to as "Gnasher" with Sturgeon saying an MSP would refer to it, her teeth and dentists when she was around.
