First minister hits out at party’s vow to block second referendum, and also warns of further Tory shift to the right
Nicola Sturgeon has accused Labour of giving “the proverbial two fingers” to Scottish voters, as she warned that regardless of who wins the Tory leadership race it is “virtually certain” to mean a shift further to the right for the UK.
Launching the second in a series of papers intended to make the substantive case for independence to the Scottish public, the first minister said Keir Starmer’s insistence that he would block a second referendum should Labour win the next general election amounted to “cynical political calculations”.
