Theresa May has said she will not trigger article 50 until a UK wide approach has been agreed and some people think this puts Nicola Sturgeon in a strong position not to agree an approach (The Independent HERE).
Asked by the BBC’s Andrew Marr whether this meant Scotland had now effectively been given a veto on the UK leaving the EU, Scottish First Minister Ms Sturgeon said: “That appears to be an interpretation that some people put on the Prime Minister’s remarks. Certainly from what she said after the meeting that puts us in a very strong position".
However, the new Brexit secretary, David Davis, insists Scotland cannot have a veto, despite the prime minister suggesting all of the UK should agree a unified approach.
