Nicola Sturgeon’s comments in an SNP book are criticised by Stephen Flynn, who says they were a “mistake.” Flynn makes the remark when asked about the comments at an appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Several outlets report that the question is raised during Flynn’s participation in the event “The Political Party with Matt Forde.” The comments are said to have been published in the paperback edition of Sturgeon’s memoir, prompting Flynn’s response.
Across the reports, the core point is consistent: Flynn characterises the remarks as an error and addresses them publicly when questioned at the Fringe. The articles differ mainly in how they describe the setting and how they introduce the topic, but they do not present substantial, contrasting details about the comments themselves or any further actions taken in response.
