Prime Minister Theresa May is to face questions about her Brexit plans from Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon during a visit to Edinburgh.

Mrs May is in Scotland to mark the signing of a "city deal" investment package for the south east region.

She will also take in the Edinburgh festival before talks with Ms Sturgeon. The first minister has challenged Mrs May to set out her "plan B" if she is unable to sell her preferred Brexit plans to European leaders.

Mrs May said she was aiming to "create more good jobs and spread economic prosperity across the country" as the UK leaves the EU.

The trip is the prime minister's first domestic appearance since she cut short her summer walking holiday for talks with French President Emmanuel Macron.

She has also spoken to the EU's chief negotiator Jean-Claude Juncker in a bid to win him over to the vision of Brexit she agreed with her ministers at Chequers in July.

And while in Edinburgh she will come under pressure from Ms Sturgeon to set out more details of what the UK's future relationship with the EU might look like after it leaves in March 2019.

The Scottish and UK governments have long been at odds over Brexit, having failed to come to an agreement over the future of devolved powers which saw MSPs refuse to give their backing to the EU Withdrawal Bill.
