Matt Cooper meets Nicola Sturgeon

Wednesday, 20 August 2025
About this event
This deeply personal autobiography recounts her journey from working-class Ayrshire to the steps of Bute House. Revealing the person behind the politician, she explores the schism between her private and public personas: one painfully shy and self-critical, the other a consummate public performer.
In conversation with broadcaster and writer Matt Cooper, expect an honest discussion about Sturgeon’s battles, her mistakes and her triumphs - recounting her interactions with figures including Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Alex Salmond – her mentor and, ultimately, her staunch adversary. She will pull no punches.
