Humza Yousaf says Nicola Sturgeon looked ‘quite a broken woman’ after Peter Murrell confession

Humza Yousaf has described Nicola Sturgeon as looking “quite a broken woman” when they discussed the confession of Peter Murrell, the former SNP chief executive. The former first minister revealed the remark as he also said he was “utterly gobsmacked” when police raided the SNP’s Edinburgh headquarters in 2023. The raid came shortly after Yousaf succeeded Sturgeon as party leader. Speaking about the moment he learned of the police operation, Yousaf said he was “gobsmacked”. His comments on Sturgeon’s demeanour during their conversation about Murrell’s confession paint a picture of a party in turmoil.
