Nicola Sturgeon was asked if she would consider closing the border between Scotland and England and her response was that she did not have the power to do so and that she was taking a four nation approach. That is how it got into the papers.
She did indeed say that....but she went on to say much more, implying that she would act in Scotland's interests if she felt that the UK government took decisions that she thought were premature:
“That means if – it is an if, I'm not saying that we're likely to get into this territory – if the UK government took decisions that I thought were premature in terms of coming out of the lockdown then clearly I would want to make sure that Scotland did what I judged was best to protect the population.''
Even the 'National' - 'the newspaper that supports an independent Scotland' - interpreted her words to mean, 'Nicola Sturgeon could ask to close border if UK ends lockdown prematurely'.
