Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon (pictured) called on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek an extension to a post-Brexit transition period with the European Union because of the need to tackle a new coronavirus strain, writes Elizabeth Piper.

“It’s now imperative that (the) PM seeks an agreement to extend the Brexit transition period. The new COVID strain - and the various implications of it - means we face a profoundly serious situation, and it demands our 100% attention,” she said on Twitter.

“It would be unconscionable to compound it with Brexit.”
