Sturgeon and Drakeford call for emergency Cobra meeting

The first ministers of Scotland and Wales have joined the calls for Boris Johnson to convene an emergency Cobra meeting this weekend, as Nicola Sturgeon warned the next few days would be critical.

Wales’ first minister said there must be better communication with the devolved governments – warning there was a “vacancy at the heart of the United Kingdom”.
