Alison Rowat: the hush-hush lunch that led Sturgeon to say yes to TV job
There are now just days to go before two very important events take place. One is the general election. The other is Nicola Sturgeon making her debut as a pundit on ITV’s election night show. I know, I thought it was a spoof too, but it is true. On July 4, the former First Minister of Scotland will be joining George Osborne and Ed Balls in dispensing wit and wisdom on ITV1 from 9.50pm.
