Statistics which will embarrass the party leader show the SNP is Scotland's most Eurosceptic party, with 29 per cent of voters having backed Leave last week. Sturgeon now risks angering her own supporters if she attempts to block Brexit or continues calling for a fresh referendum on Scottish independence. The revelation comes after the First Minister warned the Scottish Parliament could veto Britain's decision to quit the bloc.

The survey shows the majority of Scots are opposed to Sturgeon's plans for another independence referendum in the wake of Brexit. According to the Survation poll, 71 per cent of SNP supporters voted Remain – compared to 84 per cent of Lib Dems and 83 per cent of Labourites. And 44.7 per cent of all voters said Scotland should not hold a second independence referendum, while 41.9 per cent were in favour. Sturgeon said a new ballot on breaking up Britain is "very much on the table" because most Scots want to stay in the EU.

Scotland voted to stay as part of the UK and that should be that."
