Scottish first minister warns in conference speech that Westminster will use EU exit fallout as reason why it is unworkable
Westminster will use the damage inflicted by Brexit to argue that Scottish independence is unworkable, Nicola Sturgeon has said, calling on her party activists to “resist [this] with all we’ve got”.
In her address to delegates on the final day of the Scottish National party’s online conference, the SNP leader and first minister warned: “There’s a double whammy that Scotland must be alert to … Westminster will use all that damage that they have inflicted as an argument for yet more Westminster control.”
