Blackford issues PM with indyref warning

There is now a “fresh democratic commitment to give the Scottish people the right to choose an independent future”, the SNP’s Westminster leader has said.

Ian Blackford warned Boris Johnson: “The prime minister needs to reflect on this reality.”

The MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber told the Commons: “There is a mandate for an independence referendum and let me put this House on notice: It’s the people of Scotland and our parliament that will determine when that referendum will take place.”
