Sturgeon tweeted a short time after: "I expressed hope that we will build a UK/Scot government relationship based on mutual respect - including for mandates - and my fear that further austerity will do real damage to people and public services.
"I look forward to further engagement soon."

Truss failed to hold a single formal meeting with Sturgeon during her disastrous 50-day period in 10 Downing Street.
