The end of freedom of movement and the UK government's "hostile" immigration policy will lead to fewer working people in Scotland, Ms Sturgeon says.

This will particularly impact the NHS she warns.

The first minister says: "The prime minister's deal would be disastrous and must be rejected by the House of Commons."

She reiterates that continued membership of the EU would be the preferred option, but adds the Scottish government has put forward a compromise in leaving the EU but staying in the single market.

There must now be an extension of Article 50 because a fully-scrutinised Brexit deal cannot be delivered by 29 March she says.

We need an extension long enough to enable a better path to be taken, the first minister adds.

The approach of the UK government is unforgivably reckless says the first minister.

Ms Sturgeon insists it must not use the threat of no deal to blackmail the UK parliament to its current bad deal.

She accuses Theresa May's government of now resorting to bribery.

Ms Sturgeon call her plan a "blindfold Brexit" which is completely unacceptable.

The UK government has been buying fridges for medical supplies, testing motorways in Kent and awarding and revoking ferry contracts, Ms Sturgeon says.

All of this is planning for an avoidable outcome, the first minister insists.

She labels this as "unforgivably reckless".

Tory MSP Adam Tomkins urges the SNP to back the prime minister's deal in order to avoid no deal Brexit.

The first minister says it is "utterly incredible" that Scotland should have to choose between "catastrophe and disaster."

Ms Sturgeon says the domestic and international standing of the UK government has surely never been lower.

She explains the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly are calling for three things:

• rule out no deal
• MPs must not allow themselves to be bullied into choosing between the catastrophe of no deal and the disaster of the PM's deal
• extend Article 50

No rational government would consider a no deal Brexit the first minister insists.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon highlights Welsh Brexit Minister Jeremy Miles will open a debate this afternoon on essentially the same motion.

This is the first time in 20 years of devolution the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly have acted together in this way, she adds.

This is because they share concerns bordering on despair around Brexit, the first minister says.

Here we are just 24 days until the UK is due to leave the EU and we do not know if there will be any terms of Brexit or whether there will be a transition period she tells Parliament.

"In the face of all of this chaos, the prime minister is showing no decisive leadership whatsoever."

Ms Sturgeon insists Mrs May is "trying to run down the clock" and accuses her of holding the Scottish Parliament in contempt.

Scottish and Welsh politicians are joining forces in a bid to force the prime minister to change her position on Brexit.

An identical motion will be debated simultaneously by the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly - with co-ordinated votes.

It will underline opposition to Theresa May's deal, demand a delay to Brexit and call for "no deal" to be ruled out.

The UK government said the deal was a good one for Scotland and Wales.

The Scottish government will now lead a debate on the EU withdrawal negotiations.

Mr Stewart says staff in the ambulance service have said there is a reluctance in management to accept there are people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

The public health minister points out the figures come from self reporting.

Labour MSP David Stewart asks if the minister is confident the leadership can reverse the level of sickness in the Scottish ambulance service.

Mr Fitzpatrick says the government will ensure the appropriate support is begin provided.

Public Health Minister Joe FitzPatrick says the work of ambulance staff is valued and their wellbeing is fundamental.

A number of programmes are underway across the service which provide trauma support he adds.

We are committed to ensuring the service has the resource it needs to support staff, the minister says.

Mr Stewart says the 40% rise is a "shocking" statistics.

Mr FitzPatrick reiterates the importance of staff mental health and points to services available to them, including counselling.

Tory MSP Alexander Stewart asks the Scottish government what its response is to reports that the number of paramedics signed off work with depression or stress increased by more than 40% last year.

Labour MSP James Kelly warns against football supporters being treated with disdain.

Mr Kelly calls for a wider more considered discussion and should not be viewed through lens of only football.

He also warns against rush knee jerk reactions.

Mr Yousaf replies: "Let's please not have our head in the sand."

The minister says he would have thought Mr Kelly would have come here with a bit of humility having been the "poster boy" for the repeal of the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.

SNP MSP James Dornan asks whether strict liability should be brought in via legislation.

Mr Yousaf commends the member for his work on the proposed Football (Strict Liability) (Scotland) Bill, external.

He says the government is looking at whether licensing could be used to benefit public safety, as it is elsewhere in the UK.

Tory MSP Liam Kerr asks if the measures being considered go as far as stadium bans.

The justice secretary accepts some clubs would like the power to look at banning orders and he will give this some consideration.

Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf says football should step up to address this problem but if action is not taken the government reserves the right to act to remove this "vile cancer" in our game.

Strict liability is being considered, the minister explains.

Mr McArthur agrees the vast majority of decent fans are disgusted with the so-called fans who act in this way.

Mr Yousaf says he will carefully consider the

police Scotland report tomorrow, but it is for football authorities to step to their responsibilities, which they have not done so far.

Scotland's justice secretary has said serious measures are required to tackle unacceptable conduct at football matches.

Humza Yousaf said "nothing was off the table" when it came to dealing with sectarianism and violent behaviour.

His comments come after a spate of incidents, where items including coins and bottles were thrown or sectarian chanting was heard during matches.

A review of policing at football matches in Scotland is due this week.
