Although book-lover Sturgeon offered a scathing review of the former PM's memoir, Unleashed, she did notice some similarities with her situation dealing with coronavirus.
Nicola Sturgeon has said she felt a "sense of affinity" with Boris Johnson while reading his memoir. In what was otherwise a scathing review of the former prime minister's new book, Unleashed, Ms Sturgeon said she had similarly felt an "unbearable burden of responsibility" over Covid deaths.
The ex-SNP leader said that much to her surprise, "it's not as bad as I first thought", adding that "if the book surprises at all, it is on the positive side". She said she related to Mr Johnson's feelings about the pressures of being in charge during the pandemic. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

She said the book overall is an "easy" and "snappy" read, despite its length, and "dare I say, it enjoyable". But she said of the memoir: "He doesn't take anything entirely seriously - not even the issues he claims to be deeply serious about. There is nothing that he won't make a crass joke about if it serves his narrative purpose."
