Holyrood and Stormont on Wednesday voted to reject the UK-EU trade deal, which on the same day was approved in both the UK Parliament and Brussels.

Both motions say that Brexit is against the will of the people they represent, and both parties that tabled the motions complained about not having enough time to read the deal.
