SPECIAL: Johnson Quits Commons, Sturgeon Arrested
Jun 12, 2023, 11:51 AM
It has been a chaotic weekend in UK politics. First, Nadine Dorries resigned as an MP after her nomination for a peerage was rejected. Former prime minister Boris Johnson followed her out of the Commons hours later with another ally, Nigel Adams, quitting on Saturday.
If that wasn't enough, former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon was arrested and faced questions from police in Scotland as part of their investigation into the SNP's finances. She denies all allegations and insisted on her innocence in a strongly worded statement.
Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss it all in this special episode.
