A source confirmed Sturgeon, who has been the country’s longest serving first minister and is also leader of the Scottish National party, will announce her resignation at 11am today in Edinburgh.

Sturgeon has suffered a series of political set-backs recently, including the UK supreme court defeat of her plans for a fresh independence referendum and the deeply damaging row over a double rapist sent to a female jail after announcing they were a trans woman.
