Nicola Sturgeon says SCOTLAND should be at EU summit to decide Brexit future

The Scottish First Minister claimed the country had been “sidelined” by Westminster, despite meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May last week.

She tweeted: “Tonight, 12 of the 27 EU member states that will decide the UK’s future have populations smaller than or similar in size to Scotland’s.

“If we become independent we get to sit at that table – enjoying the same solidarity shown to Ireland – instead of being sidelined by Westminster.”
