NICOLA Sturgeon is still calling for the UK to remain tied to the European Union despite Theresa May hailing a Brexit breakthrough to cut ties with Brussels this morning.

The Scottish First Minister said remaining in the single market and customs union is the "only sensible option".
Ms Sturgeon tweeted: "Move to phase 2 of talks good - but devil is in the detail and things now get really tough. If #Brexit is happening (wish it wasn’t) staying in single market & customs union is only sensible option. And any special arrangements for NI must be available to other UK nations.
"An aside - a UK government that is able to say that come what may, it will avoid hard borders with Ireland/NI after Brexit can never again tell Scotland that independence would mean a hard border between Scotland and UK."
It comes after the anti-Brexit leader leapt on Theresa May's failure to strike a deal over the Irish deal earlier this week.
