Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has challenged Theresa May to a debate over her draft Brexit deal before it is voted on by MPs.
Ms Sturgeon, responding to suggestions the prime minister is willing to debate Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in advance of a House of Commons vote, tweeted: "I can't speak for @jeremycorbyn, but I'd be up for a full leaders' debate on the 'deal'. So, how about it PM @theresa_may?"
The SNP leader was scathing about Mrs May's proposals after the pair held "full, frank and calm" talks on Brexit last week, likening it to asking people to "take a blindfold leap off a cliff".
