Scottish National party leaders have urged BBC Scotland to continue live broadcasts of every coronavirus briefing by Nicola Sturgeon, after the corporation announced it was scaling back coverage.
John Swinney, the deputy first minister, and Ian Blackford, the SNP’s Westminster leader, said they were surprised and disappointed the BBC would no longer screen every briefing by the first minister in full on its terrestrial channels.
