Former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has accused Nicola Sturgeon of using 'dangerous language' as she took a swipe at the Tories
She continued: “If the question to me is would I prefer a Labour government over a Tory government – I detest the Tories and everything they stand for – so it’s not difficult to answer that question.”Responding on the same programme, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Nadhim Zahawi said: “I think that language is really dangerous.
“I prefer to work with my colleagues in Scotland on delivering the freeports, the greenports, as I want to do with John Swinney and others.” While Sturgeon said she would favour a Labour government, she added: “Being better than the Tories is not a high bar to cross right now.“If you’re asking me do I think either a Westminster Tory government or a Westminster Labour government are good enough for Scotland, then my answer to that is no.”The First Minister told the broadcaster she is disappointed that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has “thrown in the towel” on re-joining the European Union.
