A #Brexit extension is “almost inevitable”
- Nicola Sturgeon to me earlier @FRANCE24

Scottish First Minister wants Labour’s Corbyn to
“get off the Brexit fence & put his weight behind [...] something that would break the deadlock”

2/ Sturgeon on Theresa May:

“she should change her approach... 1st thing she should do is request an extension to #Article50”

“My preference then would be...to go back to the people in another referendum- bcs people have so much more information now than in 2016”#Brexit #F24

3/
Nicola Sturgeon accuses both Theresa May & Jeremy Corbyn of
“probably trying to run the clock down as much as [each other] in all this.”

4/ Sturgeon said her SNP party MPs won’t vote for the current deal including taking UK out of Single Market & Customs Union.

I asked if they would do so, if only other option was “No Deal”:

"The House of Commons should not allow that position to arise”
