At a news conference in Edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon said that the SNP’s manifesto commitment to a second independent referendum in the event of a major change to the UK’s circumstances meant it was “a statement of the obvious” that a such a vote was now on the table.
Scotland rejected independence in a 2014 referendum by a margin of 55 to 45.
The SNP leader also called for Scotland to be fully involved in the renegotiation of Britain’s relationship with the EU, and said she had spoken to London mayor Sadiq Khan who will also be seeking a seat at the negotiating table.
