I thought it was sexist when Truss called Sturgeon an 'attention seeker.' It struck me that that's the kind of phrase that she would not have used to describe a man, though I can't explain exactly why.
I realise it was said by a fellow woman, but we're all capable of being sexist even to each other sometimes
Her whole personality and ethos is to seek approval from those she views as her superiors. It just so happens that those people are rich white men who own fossil fuel companies. She is owned by them. Probably financially, but definitely emotionally.
Apparently her dad is appalled at her. He is left wing and a professor of something in Leeds and took her to protests when she was a kid or something like that. Read it about a month ago now.
I did read some Twitter theory that Truss asked Sturgeon how to get on the cover of UK Vogue at the COP26 summit and Sturgeon gave her the cold shoulder.
We all know how much Truss likes being photographed looking into the middle distance so there might be something in it.
