The fallout from the EU referendum has continued to dominate

Scottish politics today, with the parties arguing

about whether or not the result should lead to a second vote

The First Minister has been talking to the European Commission about how

Scotland can remain in Europe even though the rest of the UK has voted

to leave. Today, Nicola Sturgeon's predecessor said she was right.

opinion in Scotland that says that one way or another Scotland's

position in Europe must be consolidated and guaranteed, and

Nicola Sturgeon is carrying not just the SNP opinion behind her, but a

broad spread of political opinion in Scotland. This is way beyond

nation-building to do, issues about currency in the fiscal deficit. And

what deficit has shown us is that when you have a minority voting for

one thing, you divide the nation, you create service. And the last

thing we want is to look forward to a legacy of bitterness and division

in Scotland. Scottish Labour distance itself from Mr McLeish and

said independence would risk Scottish jobs and our economy.

The First Minister is calling on the UK government to give

an immediate guarantee on the status of European Union citizens living

in Scotland in the wake of the Brexit vote.

Nicola Sturgeon's demand comes in a letter to the Prime Minister,
