Nicola Sturgeon has branded the former deputy leader of Britain First a 'racist and fascist' after an extraordinary confrontation outside a polling station on election day.

Jayda Fransen, who is standing as an independent in Glasgow Southside, the same constituency contested by Ms Sturgeon, confronted the SNP leader on Thursday.

Ms Fransen, who is from London and has convictions for religiously aggravated harassment, told Ms Sturgeon: 'What are you sorry for? Mass immigration, Marxism? I'm not a fascist. I've been on the ground speaking to locals who say you are an absolute disgrace.'

After a back and forth, Ms Sturgeon said: 'You are a fascist, you are a racist and the southside of Glasgow will reject you.'

The First Minister also added: 'We'll see what the locals' view is later on.'
