SNP leader in Westminster says Tory MPs are trying ‘to deny democracy and destroy devolution’
The Scottish National party’s leader in Westminster has accused Tory MPs of denying Holyrood the powers to hold a second independence referendum because “unionism has run out of road”.
Ian Blackford told the SNP’s online conference: “The UK that they argue for no longer exists and they have no idea how to reimagine or reinvent it … The Tories are in a panic – they are unwilling to accept the truth that a majority of Scotland’s people now want an independent future.”
