Ciaran Jenkins' asked a memorable question of Nicola Sturgeon about openness and transparency at the height of the Covid pandemic in August 2021.
For his trouble the eminently reasonable Channel 4 news presenter was met with a disdainful, snotty reply - a nasty put-down - and told that 'nothing will be off limits'.
Yet we now know Nicola lied to the press and the public because the former First Minister had already deleted her WhatsApp messages - as had many of her ministers and closest advisers.
