Ms. Sturgeon told the broadcaster: “I don’t feel left out. I think most people would think it’s a bit weird, a bit weird. We had a Prime Minister who visited Scotland and he correctly talked about the need-despite our political differences- Let’s cooperate as much as possible about getting through Covid and getting into Covid recovery, but when we were in Scotland, we didn’t seize the opportunity to come and talk to me directly about how we cooperate and cooperate.
“I think people think this is weird, and I think Boris Johnson should explain why.
“Considering Covid, this will be the first time we sit down, maintain proper social distancing, and have face-to-face conversations. I think this will be a great opportunity.
“I am preparing to welcome him to Bit House today. Boris Johnson and I disagree at all in many ways, but the government we both lead is trying to get our country through Covid, so we have a lot to work with. .
“So, you know, missed the opportunity, but it depends on him.
“I am ready to work with anyone at any time, but I can let Scotland survive the COVID-19 pandemic and recover.”
