SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has
firmly denied a newspaper's claim she told a French diplomat she would
prefer David Cameron in No 10 over Ed Miliband.
The Daily Telegraph claims to have seen a memo detailing how Scotland's first minister privately said Labour's leader was not "prime minister material".Ms Sturgeon tweeted the story was "categorically, 100% untrue". French officials said she did not express a preference for prime minister.
Labour said the claim is "devastating".
The Daily Telegraph claimed to have seen the official British government memorandum which includes details of a private meeting between Ms Sturgeon and Sylvie Bermann, the French Ambassador to the UK.
Included in a civil servant's summary was the line that "she'd rather see David Cameron remain as PM (and didn't see Ed Miliband as PM material)", according to the paper.
