Loose Women's Carol McGiffin leaves fans stunned over Nicola Sturgeon row

dailystar.co.uk:

ITV presenter Carol McGiffin is known for speaking her mind but has been slammed over her treatment of Nicola Sturgeon. The Scottish leader appeared on Loose Women on Wednesday (April 20) when Carol questioned Nicola about failing to wear a mask while in a barbershop recently, which goes against Covid rules in Scotland.

The panel show star asked: “But what’s the difference between your misdemeanour or breaking your rules and your laws than Boris breaking his rules and his laws?”Carol continued: “He has actually stood up in Parliament and made a big apology, I mean, you’ve made an apology, sort of, and you’re claiming it was a mistake.”The Scottish First Minister said: “Let me be clear, I think it is right that I get a harder time for that than the average person, but is that the same as having, I think, six parties at the strictest part of lockdown and then not telling the truth to Parliament?”Viewers took to Twitter in support of Nicola Sturgeon with some seeing Carol’s comments as “uncalled for”.One Twitter user said: “I don’t think these things are equivalent.

I never usually watch #loosewomen but Carol trying to say that Nicola forgetting a face mask for a few seconds is the same as Bojo having like 6 parties during the worst of the pandemic is the same...

ehm think Carol needs a reality check."A second commented: "Well done, @NicolaSturgeon for your handling of @McGiff and the #LooseWomen crew."Also for your honesty, talking about your own vulnerabilities; from menopause to miscarriage.
