🔴NEW: Boris Johnson has insisted he would be 'delighted' to meet Nicola Sturgeon. Earlier, Nicola Sturgeon said it was 'odd' and 'strange' that the Prime Minister had refused her offer to do so

The First Minister this morning said it was “a bit odd and a bit strange” that he refused to meet with her. However, with rumours suggesting that the invite came after his agenda was fixed - and with aides eager to stop him looking like a visiting dignitary, it is perhaps not that strange.
