The leader of the Scottish Conservatives again accuses the first minister of a “weasel”.

Mr Ross says Jim McCall called Nicola Sturgeon a lie.

He said Mr McCall said the jobs at Fergus Marine were safe and added that “jobs have never been put at risk”.

“Isn’t your main excuse just torn, maybe like that vital missing document?”

Ms Sturgeon said Mr McCall was not a disinterested objective observer on these issues and was behind what she said on Monday at BBC Scotland’s GMS.
