TOP TORY Brian Monteith was accused of talking “nonsense” today after he wrongly claimed unions were divided over the North Sea’s controversial Super Puma helicopters.

The former MSP accused Unite of “double standards” for opposing the use of the aircraft, which has been involved in accidents claiming 33 lives since 2009.

The Super Pumas were previously used extensively to ferry oil workers to and from North Sea platforms.
