Jacob Rees-Mogg has called Nicola Sturgeon “Moanalot” following her remarks that Boris Johnson’s trip to Scotland is not an essential journey.
The Prime Minister flew into Scotland on Thursday and visited the Lighthouse Laboratory in Glasgow, and other sites helping tackle the pandemic.
The trip has been criticised by the SNP, with the party’s Commons spokesman Tommy Sheppard telling MPs that the Prime Minister is “more than capable of patronising us from his office in Whitehall”.
Speaking ahead of the PM’s visit, Ms Sturgeon said: “I would say me travelling from Edinburgh to Aberdeen to visit a vaccination centre right now is not essential, and Boris Johnson travelling from London to wherever he is in Scotland to do the same is not essential.
