Joint news conference on #Brexit underway in London

@NicolaSturgeon⁩ ⁦@MarkDrakeford
NS: we do not consent to EU withdrawal bill

Hard to imagine a #Brexit deal more damaging to Scotland

Backs general election as route to another EU referendum
MD: Govt in London must respect decision of Welsh Assembly which opposes withdrawal bill in current form

Opens way to decisive shift away from current social, environmental protections
Both FMs - Scotland and Wales - arguing for extension long enough for another EU referendum ie longer than 3 months
NS: I want another EU referendum, not sure there’s a majority for that yet

In my view, the pathway to that may be through a general election

Won’t be manipulated by UK govt
MD: has been agnostic on whether election or referendum best way to go

Would take either
NS: have to absolutely secure extension before formally backing election but I want an election
NS: vote of no confidence should be actively considered

MD: would need to be a plan for aftermath to achieve another EU ref
