Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon says talking to Theresa May was 'soul destroying'
"And she had, as she often did, a fantastic pair of shoes, a really stylish pair of shoes. And I quite like shoes, so I started the meeting off by saying, 'before we get onto Brexit, fantastic shoes', and in that instant I could see in her eyes, that she didn't have an answer in the script before her for this."So talking to Boris, at least it was like having a conversation, albeit a bit of a crazy one.
"So I think I was just trying to organise everybody. And then the new Secretary of State for Scotland [Alister Jack] came up to me, and I don't mean this as any insult to him, but I didn't immediately recognise him so it was kind of, 'who are you trying to get in my hoose?! "He's a prime minister who is intent on taking us out of Europe against our will, looks intent on taking us out without a deal and the catastrophe that would bring about I think is well understood here.
"And I think there is, accompanying that, a growing sense of urgency that if we don't want to get dragged down a path - and I'm not just talking about Brexit here, although largely that's what I mean - but dragged down a sort of political path that we don't want to go down, then we need to consider becoming independent sooner rather than later.
