Scotland is being treated with "utter contempt" by Westminster, Nicola
Sturgeon has said amid a row over comments made by Jacob Rees-Mogg
over 'Partygate'.
Ms Sturgeon told First Minister's Questions at Holyrood she had "big political
differences with Douglas Ross, but even I am not as derogatory about him as
his own Tory colleagues are being".
"'Not a big figure', 'lightweight' - these might be personal insults directed at
the leader of the Scottish Conservatives but actually they say something
much deeper about the Westminster establishment's utter contempt for
Scotland," she said.
"Independence is fundamentally about empowerment and aspiration but, you
know what, an added benefit of being independent is it will no longer have
to put up with being treated like something on the sole of Westminster's
shoe."
