Nicola Sturgeon: ‘I should not be held responsible for the wrongdoing of men’

Ex-SNP leader says she appeared on more front pages than her husband this week, adding: ‘I don’t think that’s right’

Nicola Sturgeon said she “should not be held responsible for the wrongdoing of men” after Peter Murrell, her estranged husband, admitted to embezzling hundreds of thousands of pounds from the SNP this week.

The former Scottish first minister told an audience at the Hay festival in Wales on Friday: “My picture has been on more front pages in Scotland this week than my former husband’s has, and I don’t think that’s right.”
