Nicola Sturgeon set to resign as Scotland's first minister, senior source tells Sky News

Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon is set to resign, a senior Scottish government source has told Sky News.

The SNP leader is expected to make the shock announcement during a press conference in Edinburgh at her official residence, Bute House, at 11am.

Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby understands the first minister will stay in post until somebody else takes over but said there was "not an obvious candidate", raising "huge questions" for the future of her party.
