Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has rejected the latest offer from the UK Government to the devolved administrations as an impasse over a post-Brexit ‘power grab’ shows no signs of abating. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she will not support the UK government's retention of around 25 devolved powers after Brexit, as it "effectively undermines the whole foundation on which devolution is built". The Scottish government says that if Scotland votes to leave the EU in a second referendum next year, there would be no need for any new legislation or changes to existing laws and institutions. Sturgeon is set to meet prime minister Theresa May before the end of March.
