Liz Truss used a chat at a climate summit to ask how she could get into Vogue, Nicola Sturgeon has claimed.
Scotland’s First Minister had her revenge on the Tory leadership contender today after Ms Truss branded her an “attention-seeker”.
Ms Sturgeon recalled meeting the Foreign Secretary at November’s COP26 gathering in Glasgow, shortly after Vogue interviewed the SNP leader.
She told journalist an ex-Tory candidate Iain Dale during an interview at the Edinburgh Fringe: “That was the main thing she wanted to talk to me about.
“She wanted to know how she could get into Vogue - and she calls me an attention-seeker.
"I said to her they came and asked me. I didn't really mean to do this, but I said to her it hadn't actually been my first time in Vogue, it had been my second time.
"It looked a little bit as if she'd swallowed a wasp.
"I'm sure she'll be in Vogue before too long."
She continued: "I remember it because there we were at the world's biggest climate change conference in Glasgow, world leaders about to arrive.
"That was the main topic of conversation she was interested in pursuing. And once we'd exhausted that it kind of dried up.
"I'm sure we'll have many more conversations about many more substantive things."
It comes a week after Ms Truss said the best way of dealing with the First Minister of Scotland was to "ignore her".
"I think the best thing to do with Nicola Sturgeon is ignore her. She is an attention seeker. That is what she is,” she said.
Ms Sturgeon has asked the UK Supreme Court to rule on whether it would be legal to hold a second Scottish independence vote without Westminster’s permission.
She wants to hold the vote on 19 October 2023, nine years after Scotland voted to remain in the UK.
In submissions to the court today, the UK government argued the Supreme Court does not have the "jurisdiction" to decide if a referendum is legal.
A UK Government spokesperson said: "People across Scotland want both their Governments to be working together on the issues that matter to them and their families, not talking about another independence referendum."
Ms Sturgeon also branded Boris Johnson a “disgrace”. She said: "It was literally like nothing I've ever dealt with before in terms of any senior politician.
"You know, I'm going to be blunt here, he was a disgrace to the office of Prime Minister."
