BREXIT BACKTRACK? Sturgeon claims May will have to accept REMAINING in EU customs union

While some Tory politicians, such as Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, want the UK to pull out of both the customs union and the single market, Ms Sturgeon insisted maintaining these relationships would be in the country's best interests.

She spoke out after a meeting with the European Union's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels.

The SNP leader argued that a customs union was important to prevent the return to a hard border in Northern Ireland but added that without similar arrangements for Scotland it could be left at a "competitive disadvantage".

While Mrs May has ruled out keeping the UK in the single market and customs union after Brexit, the First Minister insisted in this regard that "the Government's position is unsustainable".

And she added there was still "reason to be hopeful that is something that can be achieved".
