First minister accuses Salmond of making ‘wild, untrue and baseless claims’ about conspiracy against him
Nicola Sturgeon has suggested Alex Salmond still has to answer questions about his past behaviour towards women, after she accused him of peddling “wild, untrue and baseless claims” about a conspiracy against him.
The first minister implied that Salmond, her former mentor and predecessor as Scottish National party leader, was being dishonest about his motives after he turned down several offers to give evidence to a Holyrood inquiry.
