Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon “says she believes a second referendum on Scottish independence is ‘highly likely’ after the rest of the UK voted to leave the EU,” the Guardian reports.
“Speaking in Edinburgh, Sturgeon said she was deeply disappointed by the result of the UK referendum but said it had exposed a clear divide between Scottish and English voters, after Scotland voted heavily in favour of remaining.”
