Former Scottish secretary David Mundell says unionist voters and politicians should react to the threat without delay
Alex Salmond’s new pro-independence party in Scotland poses a “real and present danger” to the union and needs to be immediately taken on, a former Scottish secretary has warned.
David Mundell, who served as Scottish secretary in Theresa May’s government, said opponents of independence should waste no time in resisting the new Alba party, which Salmond has said could provide a “super-majority” for an independent Scotland. Pro-union figures have accused Salmond of “gaming the system” with his attempt to win seats in Holyrood through part of the voting system designed to make the overall result more representative.
