Good morning, Welcome to your Friday newsletter from The Scotsman. Businesses are being left in ‘a further state of limbo’, the Scottish Conservatives have claimed, as Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland would not ‘throw caution to the wind’ on lifting Covid restrictions. In a briefing, the First Minister said that she hoped to outline next Tuesday whether further lockdown easing to Level 0 could go ahead, although she said she was “more optimistic” than she would have been last week, due to an apparent slowing in cases. Meanwhile, south of the border, Boris Johnson is under pressure to grant bank holiday if England win Euros. Should he authorise one? Should Scotland celebrate if England win? Have your say in the article comments. | |
