She admitted there was a "large part" of her who wished she hadn't been Scotland's First Minister during the pandemic - but said it was up to others to judge how well she'd done.
Most of today's questions focused on the Scottish government's strategy and decision making - including the use of Whatsapp messages.

It's always worrying when a senior government minister is using a private device for government business because private devices can disappear.

I am sick of the power elites not being held to account.

They all should be behind bars they wouldn't know the truth if it slapped them in the face. The problem is they know they'll never be held accountable
-
They lied and lied and lied...
-
She should have never have locked down in the first place,this was about control and not your health
-
Thanks to the passing van drivers who was able to articulate what the rest of us are thinking.
-
How many square miles of open and empty Scottish national park land did she lock down?
-
Almost whole political class should be sended on a mission to mars.

She was very very critical of Boris. Well well well say know more !

Tears don't cut it I'm afraid.

I would love to be able to use tax money to have a luxurious life

What --- lock down earlier and for longer, when it does not work and would have cost even more.

A Limited Hangout with actors shedding crocodile tears.

I don't think Nicola Sturgeon comes out of this spotless, but we need to show some balance in our comments. Compare her answers to Johnson, Hancock, Gove or even Sunak's - no use of 'recall' / 'recollection', no evasiveness in her answers. She gave proper answers and did not play games with the QCs. I believe the display of remorse from her as well - not because she cried but the conviction in her voice in regretting being a leader during a pandemic and in trying to do her best throughout. It's clear that out of this enquiry a gold standard for information-keeping on personal phones and Whatsapp will be laid out, and that near enough everyone in power is in deficit on that issue.

Politicians lying? Nah that never happens, what you thinking?
-
At 9.03...'A leader not cut out for a national emergency?".Is this woman a serious journalist or just someone being employed to front a TV programme?

They should all go to prison
