Nicola Sturgeon will meet Theresa May later on Wednesday for Brexit talks.

The First Minister has travelled to London after the Prime Minister said she wanted to find common ground with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in a bid to break the deadlock.

Before her meeting with May, the SNP leader had discussions with Corbyn, before tweeting that she would be "surprised and very disappointed if Labour sold out" for a "bad deal".

The day of talks comes after May said there needed to be a further extension of Article 50 in order to delay the Brexit process.

She said the UK needed an extension which is "as short as possible" in order to leave the EU with a deal.

Speaking in 10 Downing Street following a seven-hour Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, she offered to sit down with Corbyn to try to agree an EU withdrawal plan.

On Twitter, Sturgeon suggested May was delaying making a decision on Brexit to avoid her Cabinet collapsing.

"This does seem very much like PM kicking the can and, yet again, delaying making any decision that could break her Cabinet," the First Minister tweeted.

"What is missing is an answer from her to the question that many MPs faced up to last night - what is the compromise she is willing to make?

"The sensible way forward - and I think the one PM would take if this was a serious attempt to build consensus - is agree to fight (an) election, seek longer delay and allow option of public vote on what Commons agrees."

The Prime Minister has failed to gather enough support to get her Brexit deal through Parliament, with MPs having voted it down three times.

On the most recent occasion last week, MPs were asked only to vote on the Prime Minister's Withdrawal Agreement after Commons Speaker John Bercow told her the same motion must not be asked repeatedly without any changes being made.

A series of indicative votes, held after MPs decided to take control of the Brexit process, have also so far failed to find consensus after none of the proposals gained enough support to pass.

Holyrood is "likely" to meet next week if the UK is forced out of the European Union with no deal in place, MSPs have been told.

While the Scottish Parliament is scheduled to be in recess, Constitutional Relations Secretary Mike Russell said a no-deal Brexit would be a "moment of crisis", and MSPs would need to be made aware of the arrangements that would be put in place.

Holyrood's parliamentary bureau, which determines day-to-day business in the Scottish Parliament, is still to decide if there should be sittings scheduled for next week.

Mr Russell said if there were to be a no-deal Brexit it is "likely" MSPs will meet on Thursday, April 11.

"I would be surprised if members would want to be elsewhere when that particular moment of crisis - because it would be a moment of crisis - if next Thursday and Friday we find ourselves essentially with no deal," he said.

He added: "We may only know if that is happening on the evening of the Wednesday at the European Council, therefore I think it is likely that we will meet on the Thursday, at the present moment, barring something happening in the next few days."

Mr Russell spoke out after a spokesman for First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it would be "prudent for Parliament to be ready to sit next week".

He told MSPs: "I think there would be three purposes for the recall, the first of which would be to ensure that members are updated on arrangements for no deal, these are very serious arrangements, we would want every MPS to be aware of what they are and to be able to scrutinise those arrangements.

"The second one would be to update the Parliament on any political issues or issues of sensitivity that have arisen during the last week, if we meet next Thursday and Friday, in the light negotiations and the implications of any ruling of the European Council.

"The third one is to do with what members would want. I would be surprised if most members did not want to be at the forefront of ensuring that the devolved competencies and interests are looked after and defended and scrutinising that at a time of no deal."
