Sturgeon denies Tory comment: '100% categorically no I did not'

Nicola Sturgeon has "absolutely, 100%, categorically" denied saying she would prefer a Tory government than a Labour one after the general election.

The first minister of Scotland also said that since both parties involved denied it happened that "should be the end of the issue".

The leader of the SNP stated she had written to the civil service to find out how the memo came to be written with inaccuracies and how it reached the Daily Telegraph.
