Nicola Sturgeon says extension gives new opportunity to 'stop Brexit'

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon believes a new extension to the UK leaving the EU is a fresh opportunity to "stop Brexit".

"The extension until the end of October gives the UK now an opportunity and it is an opportunity that should not be squandered.

"What I would like to see now is this issue going back to the people, and the people of the UK as a whole to be given the opportunity to stop Brexit and to decide now to remain in the EU."
