Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has met with the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier in Brussels in an attempt to reiterate her goal for the UK to remain in the customs union and single market after its departure from the bloc next year.

The Conservative party who currently govern the UK are split on whether to remain in or leave the customs union.
