#INDYREF2

Voters in Scotland would oppose independen­ce in a second referendum, according to a new poll. @Grantshaw4 said: “Polls aren’t there to show what Scots think, they are there to influence what Scots think. Watch as they scramble to prevent #indyref2 based on them because they know they can’t lie their way to a win in another.” @Mike_blackley said: “When Theresa May said ‘now is not the time’ to discuss #indyref2, Ruth Davidson ruled out another referendum unless there is ‘public and political consent’ for it. With today’s ST poll showing 58% don’t want it, there’s little chance PM’S view will change any time soon.”

#NICOLASTUR­GEON

Nicola Sturgeon has been warned she must publicly demonstrat­e that business relationsh­ips forged on her trade mission to China do not involve firms linked to human rights abuses. @inmarshall­100 said: “First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is to visit China to ‘showcase Scottish business and companies’ in a bid to boost exports. Its nice to hear that she realises that there is life beyond the EU!!”
