Westminster today - LIVE: Theresa May condemns Russia for 'brazen and reckless' attack as she arrives at EU Council summit

Theresa May has condemned Russia for the "brazen and reckless" nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal as she arrived in Brussels for a crucial European summit.

The Prime Minister will urge EU leaders to unite against the "pattern of Russian aggression" at the two-day meeting, where the heads of the 28-nation bloc will also vote on the terms of the Brexit transition deal.
