Rishi Sunak reported to Scottish police over joke about Nicola Sturgeon

General secretary of Scotland's Alba party said PM acted in contempt of court by commenting on Operation Branchform

Rishi Sunak has been reported to police in Scotland over a joke he made about Nicola Sturgeon in his Conservative party conference speech.

Sunak attempted to make fun of the former SNP leader and first minister after she was arrested and questioned as part of Police Scotland's Operation Branchform investigation into her party's finances. Sturgeon was released without charge after her arrest in June. She has denied any wrongdoing.
