Scotland

The First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon has insisted that the will of the Scottish Parliament will prevail – a second referendum on independence will be held.

Another independence vote will happen, no matter what Westminster says, Scottish National Party leaders have declared.

Theresa May hit back at Nicola Sturgeon and told her that another referendum on Scottish independence was off the cards…indefinitely. The SNP called it a democratic outrage! May v Sturgeon: the gloves are off but what next?

Theresa May has claimed that Scotland will leave the EU whether or not it becomes an independent nation, insisting it was important for the UK to come together as a country. But a new poll suggests unity is not what many Scots want, either with Britain, or even necessarily with the EU.

Here in Edinburgh, Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland must be offered a “real choice”:  whether to join the rest of the UK in what she called a Hard Brexit, or work out its own relationship with Europe, inside the EU.

This moment could mark not just the beginning of the Brexit process, but the beginning of the end of the United Kingdom. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says she’s preparing to hold another independence vote, declaring it is the only way to protect Scottish interests after Brexit.

“We are four nations, but at heart one people”: Theresa May has promised to strengthen and sustain the union, setting out her case for Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom.

Scotland inside the single market – even if the rest of the UK is out. That’s top of Nicola Sturgeon’s wish list as she called for more powers to protect Scottish interests after Brexit.

In Scotland, bad law and alleged broken promises have left seven farming families facing eviction. On the isle of Arran, the Paterson brothers will be the first to go, leaving behind the farm they’d expected to hold for generations.
