SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon is now speaking. She says the decision to Brexit is the result of communities neglected by the political class.

"The Westminster establishment has some serious soul-searching to do," she said.

She says she regards the prospect of being "taken out of the EU" against its will as unacceptable.

These are hugely important comments. Sturgeon says the result represents a "significant and material change," from the Scottish Independence referendum which failed, partly because Britain warned that leaving the United Kingdom would mean leaving the European Union.
