David Mundell has said he wants to “reset” the relationsh­ip between the Scottish and UK government­s after being reappointe­d as Scotland Secretary in Theresa May’s postelecti­on reshuffle.

The Borders MP, who has held the role since 2015, said his priority was securing “the right Brexit deal” with new powers for Scotland.

Mr Mundell said: “We need to work closely with the Scottish Government, and to do that effectivel­y we will need to forge a much more constructi­ve relationsh­ip, one based not on politics and press releases but on what is best for Scotland.”
