“If #Brexit is happening (wish it wasn’t) staying in single market & customs union is only sensible option. And any special arrangements for NI must be available to other UK nations.”

Ms Sturgeon has demanded that Scotland be allowed to “effectively” stay in the EU single market early this week ahead of the UK Government reaching an agreement with Northern Ireland to advance Brexit talks.

The First Minister insisted there was “no good practical reason” why one part of the UK should be allowed to align its regulations with the EU and “others cannot do the same”.
