Nicola Sturgeon was quick to one up Boris Johnson introducing tough Level Four measures.

EFFORTS to maintain a consistent Britain-wide approach to easing lockdown rules over Christmas stalled yesterday.
England, Scotland and Wales had agreed to keep the same relaxed Christmas Covid-19 rules in place, but the latter two later strengthened their own guidance.
