SNP MPs would “undoubtedly” support a People’s Vote in Parliament, Nicola Sturgeon told BBC ahead of party conference.

It could denounce growing chaos of talks, call to stop Brexit and argue for a People’s Vote. That would be strong and coherent.

Scotland’s first minister has hesitated to back public vote over fears for indyref2. But People’s Vote precedent would benefit nationalists.

SNP isn’t yet backing a new EU referendum when we know what Brexit means. If it did, pressure would mount on Labour to follow suit.

Although the overwhelming majority of MPs voted Remain, it will take cross-party rebellions to defeat Brexit.

InFacts looks back at all the Brexit developments in the week from August 6 to 11.

Talks between London and Holyrood over EU powers will likely get heated, with Scottish resistance capable of destabilising Brussels talks.

Unless old conventions are waived, to get Brexit agreed and legislated will require a new election or a new referendum, or both.

SNP is on the defensive but its views about Brexit matter - especially if the Tory lead narrows further and there’s a hung parliament.
