NICOLA STURGEON was left with no marks today after failing to answer an exam question designed for five-year-olds.

The First Minister stood flummoxed on the front bench after Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard asked her for “another word for a hummingbird’s beak.” Ms Sturgeon replied that she could “not immediately” provide the answer.

Mr Leonard said it was the example of a Scottish National Standardised Assessment question for primary school pupils — and an example of why the tests should be scrapped.
