The SNP leader says she would want to see Trident scrapped, as well as the granting of a second Scottish independence referendum.

Nicola Sturgeon has laid out her red lines for backing a minority Labour government if there is a hung parliament.

The SNP leader told Sky News that her party would want to see the Trident nuclear deterrent scrapped, as well as the granting of a second Scottish independence referendum. Ms Sturgeon also said she would push for the scrapping of Brexit, a"real end to austerity" and further devolution of powers over migration, workers' rights and drugs laws if her party held the balance of power after the 12 December general election.She said such an outcome would give Scotland"maximum influence".

The first minister was speaking to Sophy Ridge on Sunday after Labour's John McDonnell told the same programme that it could be"two or three years" before a Jeremy Corbyn government would give approval for a second independence vote.He insisted that this position would not change, even if the SNP made the timing of a second independence referendum a red line in talks after the election.

Brilliant - Sturgeon pumping up the votes for BoJo!😀👍

Love Scots and Scotland they are brave dynamic people so why the hell do they vote for this idiot woman ,vote SNP if you must but her yuk.

I'd like a first minister that actually got on with the business of running Scotland rather than whinging constantly about independence and blaming her own party's total incompetence on Westminster. With Ruth Davidson gone there is no one left to keep 'one trick Nic' in check

How many claymores has she got then!

She wants all her own way and then she will leave, utter nonsense, if you want to make demands about the union you have to stay in it.

Can’t believe how toxic she’s become

Making herself look a right tit when there's no hung parliament.

SNP still desperate to leave the UK and become a vassal state of the EU.

Fingers crossed it's not a hung parliament then .

I bet she wants an independence referendum!

Sturgeon: Scrapping Trident is SNP red lineThe SNP leader outlines the conditions for her party supporting a Labour government at Westminster. Oi, witch, don’t put ideas in his head. there’s enough shit in there already!!! Stop trying to make it sound like there is more friction between the SNP and Labour than there is. We all saw the leaders debates. We all can see with our own eyes that NS & JC are capable of forming a good working alliance. This is more subtle bloody manipulation. Pack it up. That'll reduce Russian incursions to Uk air space, warships sailing around our coast and attacks like Salisbury for sure.
