Rennie comments on Sturgeon setting up company

Responding to reports that Nicola Sturgeon has set up a company to handle the income from her outside earnings after signing a lucrative deal for her memoirs which lists its purpose as “artistic creation”, Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Willie Rennie said:

“Nicola Sturgeon represents one of the most deprived areas in Glasgow, so I hope this company doesn't distract her from serving constituents in need.

“I am sure that many journalists and politicians will be waiting with bated breath for her to spill the beans on her time in power and her relationship with her predecessor.  

“Let’s just hope that she handles this artistic company with a good bit more dignity than Alex Salmond, who set up a similar company amid a late-career crisis, to process the money from his job as a chat show host on Kremlin-funded TV.”
