Nicola Sturgeon slams May's ‘profoundly bad’ Brexit deal

NICOLA STURGEON savaged Theresa May’s intransigence today over her “profoundly bad” Brexit deal.

After MPs at Westminster voted down every possible Brexit option put before them, the First Minister said “the case for our country [Scotland] taking its future into its own hands” was now even stronger.

“Brexit is not about Theresa May’s future, it is about all our futures – and nothing the Prime Minister says about her position changes the fact that her deal is a profoundly bad one,” she said.

  • Scotland’s medical chiefs have written to health boards warning that medicine “shortages may occur” in the event of a no-deal Brexit – but with a warning that members of the public, doctors and pharmacists “should not stockpile.”

    Chief medical officer Catherine Calderwood and chief pharmaceutical officer Rose Marie Parr stressed in their new guidance that Scottish government agencies would ensure “as far as is possible” that patients continue to receive their drugs.
