New: @NicolaSturgeon has expanded on her statement to Holyrood yesterday where she hinted that had @scotgov have more financial powers she could have shut down hospitality industry, not imposed a 10pm curfew. In other words she could have spent money to some financial support
. @ScotGovFM says "financial limitations" holding @scotgov back. @NicolaSturgeon says she recognises not easy for @RishiSunak + Treasury. This is not she says a constitutional point, but looking for extension of furlough or great financial flexibility for devolved administrations
We will see whether opposition parties think this is @NicolaSturgeon as @theSNP @ScotGovFM making a constitutional point, but interesting there is also pressure on @BorisJohnson, including from new @ScotTories leader @Douglas4Moray on extending or new measures to replace furlough
