Policies will have to be reconsidered across the board, she adds.

The Scottish government has defended plans that could see motorists taxed for parking at work amid claims that it will "fleece" workers for hundreds of pounds a year.

MPs have approved a motion to declare an environment and climate emergency.

This proposal, which demonstrates the will of the Commons on the issue but does not legally compel the government to act, was approved without a vote.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who tabled the motion, said it was "a huge step forward".

Environment Secretary Michael Gove acknowledged there was a climate "emergency" but did not back Labour's demands to declare one.

The Welsh and Scottish governments have both already declared a climate emergency, along with dozens of towns and cities, including Manchester and London.

Ms Sturgeon says if that is a reasonable recommendation from the summit then the government will do that.

The value of the pound has changed a lot over the past three years - making us all a little poorer.

Back in December 2015, £1 would buy you about €1.40.

Today it will get you nearer €1.14. It has suffered a similar fate against most major currencies, losing about 15% of its value over that time.

A big part of the fall occurred literally overnight, oncethe result of the EU referendumbecame apparent in the early hours of 24 June 2016.

That's a big change, but what does it mean for all of us?

Mr Carlaw says he hopes the first minister has the six Growth Commission tests written down in front of her as she had "a little difficulty remembering them yesterday".

The first minister does not do that but pivots to the economic impact of Brexit.

Ms Sturgeon says it is because of the disaster of Brexit being imposed on Scotland that the power must be taken from Westminster.
