YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLeader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon has called Labour a 'barrier' on Brexit amid the discussions over a possible no confidence motion.
Labour shadow cabinet members believe the position of using a no confidence motion straight away would be a 'pointless vote'.
With no support for the motion and a general election needing the Conservatives support, it was labelled a 'catch 22' by the SNP leader.
She told Sky News: "It seems to me right now that is as much a barrier to making progress on Brexit as the Tories (Conservative Party) are.
"So we think there should be a confidence motion and will continue to talk to other opposition parties."
The First Minister also referred to the Brexit deal progress as a 'whole sorry mess' and confirmed she would set out her views on independence consequences in 2019.
