Under forensic questioning from Jamie Dawson KC, her handling of the pandemic was exposed as little more than a disgraceful sham.

Shocking levels of secrecy and control freakery emerged during those two weeks in Edinburgh, along with the deceitful mass deletion of messages.

But yesterday, the former First Minister was back to her old self, with all trace of her tears forgotten.
