Earlier this week Nicola Sturgeon attended a joint ministerial council for the leaders of the UK in the hope that Theresa May would present a coherent plan for Brexit.
Leaders from Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland attended the No 10 meeting, where the prime minister attempted to allay serious concerns about leaving the EU.
Instead, Sturgeon called the talks ‘frustrating’.
She said:
