Scotland's First Minister warns Boris Johnson he cannot keep Scotland in the United Kingdom against the country's will, after the re-elected Prime Minister opposes a request for a second independence referendum.

Ms Sturgeon said on Twitter she had told the Prime Minister her political mandate to give people a choice must be respected,"just as he expects his mandate to be respected"

"You cannot hold Scotland in the union against its will ... If the United Kingdom is to continue it can only be by consent. And if Boris Johnson is confident in the case for the union then he should be confident enough to make that case and allow people to decide." "Scotland very clearly wants a different future to the one that's been chosen by much of the rest of the UK, and Scotland wants to have the right to choose its own future," she said.Meanwhile, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn apologised on Sunday for his party's crushing defeat in the British general election, which failed to resonate with the party's working-class base, as"one of hope rather than fear".

ABC: UK should stay in the EU Also ABC: Scotland should leave the UK What is it? Stronger together or not?

First Minister warns Boris. With what, an uprising? Hilarious. Scots voted to stay in UK for the cash, then voted voted to stay in the EU as it was an option of getting the hell out of the cold, uneconomic dreary place. Two more hopes, no hope & Bob Hope. 🥳

How do these Scottish Nationalists propose to pay for: 1. Defence forces - army, air force, navy 2. Police force 3. Health services 4. Public service bureaucracy Or are they still going to suck off the UK’s teat but just call themselves independent?

You go Scotland. Woot! Leave the sinking UK and stand strong.

I wanna be Boss.

Doe no one see the irony?

He would send troops.

Opportunist, chameleon, showman or charlatan: what will Boris Johnson do next?Boris Johnson's stunning victory tells us that a single issue with a catchy pitch can win the day. But his crash-or-crash-through mentality must end. Triggered Barely able to keep a lid on your contempt for him and the people who voted for him. It’s so great how the ABC can hide behind its clearly partisan positions by lazily sticking ANALYSIS or OPINION somewhere in the article The many faces of Boris Johnson. Don’t mistake this election for a personality contest, Boris won bc of Brexit. No. Other. Reason. No one trusts him, not even his friends... ToryWin
