Mundell rejects SNP calls for second Scottish independence referendum

After being repeatedly under pressure by the SNP MPs to back up the second poll on Scotland’s future, Scotland Secretary says the UK Government will not agree to another independence referendum until 2021.

Tommy Sheppard, spokesperson on the Cabinet Office in the House of Commons highlighted the issue of the upcoming European elections as he demands for the people of Scotland to be given a choice over their own future.

SNP MP Pete Wishart (Perth and North Perthshire) added: “We’re being dragged screaming and shouting out of the EU against our national collective will.”
