Boris Johnson has invited Nicola Sturgeon to a UK summit on the cost of living crisis after phoning the First Minister to thank her for her support for Ukraine.
The Prime Minister used a call to the SNP leader and Welsh Labour FM on Monday to issue the invitation to a meeting later this year. The summit would be the first of the Prime Minister and Heads of Devolved Governments Council proposed by the UK government in the wake of the covid pandemic.
Johnson previously declined to meet the First Minister during a visit to Scotland last August but the pair met formally at the Cop 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow later that year.
