NICOLA Sturgeon has said Theresa May has no "real idea of what to do next" following the Conservative government's landslide Commons defeat on their Brexit deal.

The First Minister spoke to the Tory leader in the aftermath of the unprecedented loss for the Government but was given little reassurance that Scotland's interests would be considered.

Shortly after the Commons vote, Sturgeon said a second Brexit referendum was "now the only credible option" for the UK.

The Government, which is now facing a vote of no confidence tabled by Jeremy Corbyn, was later reported to be considering cross-party talks which would exclude Tory remainers and other parties.

But talks with the PM failed to convince the First Minister that Theresa May had a clear vision of how she wanted events to unfold.

Sturgeon tweeted: "Spoke to PM earlier - not obvious that she has any real idea what to do next. Also not at all clear she is open to any fundamental change of thinking in her proposed cross-party talks. The bare minimum she must do now is seek extension of Article 50 to stop the clock."
