Nicola Sturgeon: It is entirely offensive to compare me to Herod in charge of a baby farm
The SNP leader responds to comparisons Boris Johnson made this morning.
She has also been asked why the English are scared of her, but she says she doesn’t think they are. In fact, she says, she is inundated with people from around the UK asking her if they can vote for the SNP, not the actions of a terrified nation.
Before answering questions Ms Sturgeon had to warn her faithful SNP supporters not to boo the media of Westminster she has been so readily courting.
Alex Thomson is there and sends this update:
Increasingly creepy thing where party leaders have to remind the audience not to barrack the media for asking difficult questions.
First – media should be able to handle any stick they give.
Second – slightly odd Sturgeon and Miliband (possibly others) have been told by their spinners to put out this warning.
