Responding to Nicola Sturgeon's decision not to appear before the Scottish Affairs committee in London today but to instead appear on Loose Women and deliver a speech to the RSA, Liberal Democrat Scottish Affairs spokesperson Christine Jardine said:

"It's frustrating that Nicola Sturgeon's farewell tour did not include taking time to address any of the issues of concern that the committee has identified. It's clear that she has prioritised personal appearances over public scrutiny of her government.

"On everything from ferries to the deposit return scheme, she is leaving Scotland adrift.

"What's even more scary is the prospect that her successors might be even worse."
