'You're driving Scotland off a Brexit cliff' Sturgeon fuming post 'frank' meeting with May
NICOLA Sturgeon has hit back at the Prime Minister after a “deeply frustrating” meeting over Brexit at Number 10 this morning.
Sturgeon: Brexit meeting with May 'deeply frustrating'
The First Minister joined other devolved British nations for the summit, which came after Theresa May said Ms Sturgeon's calls for a "flexible Brexit" were not up for debate.
Afterwards the Scottish National Party leader said: “I don’t know any more now about the UK Government’s approach to the EU negotiations than before I went in.
I can’t speak for the other devolved ministers but I think there was a degree of frustration shared by all of us
Sturgeon: Hard Brexit for Scotland 'not acceptable'
“But what I am not prepared to do as First Minister is to stand back and watch Scotland driven off a hard Brexit cliff edge.
“The consequences in lost jobs, lost investment, lower living standards are too serious for that and I’m not prepared to watch that happen. Not at least without the option of giving Scotland a better option.”
