Mr McDonnell's comments follow the publication of an opinion poll suggesting the majority of Scots could back independence."growing urgency" for Scotland to become independent"sooner rather than later"Mr McDonnell was also speaking to the LBC broadcaster when he was asked about the possibility of a second independence vote.
"They will take a view about whether they want another referendum. Nicola Sturgeon said by late next year or theHe added:"We would not block something like that. We would let the Scottish people decide. That's democracy.Richard Leonard is opposed to a second independence referendumIn March, Richard Leonard told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland that if Labour took power in Westminster the party would refuse to grant a Section 30 order.
However, Mr McDonnell said:"The Scottish Parliament will come to a considered view on that and they will submit that to the government and the English Parliament itself.His comments were condemned by his party colleague Ian Murray, the MP for Edinburgh South.
That’s another reason Labour should never be in charge ever Labour =misery poverty bankruptcy unemployment and now breaking up the union typical fake socialist agenda they will do anything for a few more votes
How low will they sink to get their grubby mitts on power ? Nothing is beyond them.
night That’s the good thing about democracy, you can just keep voting on the same subject until you get the answer you want!
It’s quite clear that the current labour front bench will agree to absolutely anything to try and grab power, no matter what the cost to either the population or the UK as a whole, so they can implement their Marxist policies. Frightening.
10DowningStreet BorisJohnson zatzi Does UKLabour have a stance on anything? 1st leave, now remain Brexit United but not united. What a load of bollocks jeremycorbyn johnmcdonnellMP represent. They certainly don’t believe in us, the UK. What do they believe in BBCPolitics?
They won’t be getting the chance, so this is an irrelevant story. All this clutching at straws is like watching worzel gummidge.

Its not often I agree with John McDonnell. No change there then.
Pathetic way to try to win votes.
Unelectable
Basically the people just keep voting until we get the satisfactory result
How many people’s votes is it going to take?
Labour will say what ever they think the public want hear. Historically what a politician says before an election is not the same as what they do if elected. In a nutshell they will lie through their teeth to get elected
Emmabarnett I’ll believe it when I see it.
Well that’s the end of Labour in Scotland. Why would a Unionist vote for them now or a Nationalist not vote SNP instead ?
Rebuild Hadrian's wall.
You couldn't make it up? Eeejut Corbyn blocks EU Withdrawal agreement 3 times but Labour government 'would not block' indyref2 Botched Brainless Bolshevik Brexit UK
Emmabarnett You can smell the desperation.
Emmabarnett Because then Corbyn will push for a United Ireland!
Emmabarnett No one trusts you anymore
A united Ireland will be next. One term of a Corbyn government would see the dismantling of the United Kingdom.
I think Labour are correct in this. Should the proposed indyref2 take place. They need to seriously consider where they stand and not share platforms and get sucked into the Tory narrative. They still haven’t recovered from the last one !
We will do as is our will. Thank you anyway.
Labour are now a dead party
They have been so ineffective throughout the whole saga. Too busy trying to work out how to gain power..........and failing.
Yet another reason why I wont vote Labour again.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I suppose that's one way of saving money to spend on useless projects.
Friends of the IRA, friends of Hamas. No friends of democracy or Jewish people. Unfit to be on the ballot paper.
Shameful by labour.
If it helps get Corbyn and McDonald into power of course they will give the Scottish Nationalists a referendum so they can realise their dream of breaking up the country
Labour powerwashing their policy ‘cause there’s an election about to happen and they’ll need the SNP in coalition.
If Labour needs SNP support to procure a majority in Westminster and they give the Scots the opportunity to leave the UK parliament then that would make it almost impossible for them to form a government in the future. Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do?
Today you mean? What about tomorrow?
night They also promised not to stuff more ermine into the Lords, that 13 type twenty six frigates would be built on the Clyde, that Scotland would get Home Rule and they would not privatise the South Wales Metro. 😳
How do they keep dodging the bullets?
They get dafter.
What? Ridiculous tweet. UK unity? No just more GE engineering and Socialist spin.. johnmcdonnellMP
Labour and the Tory’s will say anything con the public.
What about a 3rd and a 4th and a fifth etc?
Just another vote getter with no real substance.
Anything for a vote.
The flops have flipped!!!! 😂
night The lunatics have taken over the labour asylum.
Labour are literally just anti-British in almost every single thing they do.
Labour justice league 'would not block' indyref2
johnmcdonnellMP would welcome Scottish Ind. He could then call them brave heros casting off their English oppressors & send them £billions of our money.
night
Sinn Fein, SNP, labour alliance in force
Go away McDonnell, you are a waste of space
Labour are in collusion with the EU to break up the union and hand the UK to the EU on a plate. Labour must be stopped for the sake of the union and the UK
How is this even news? The man got served up by boris Johnson and disappeared. Your a left wing propaganda machine. scrapthelicencefee
He will never be in power to block anything.
The amount of people who still want Brexit is now significantly below 17.2 million. The vote on the final or no deal will show this. Brexit and Scottish independence are just nationalist fantasies which the cult pursue despite knowing they are terrible ideas.
Won't block Scottish independence referendum Yet, will block UK eu referendum Labour is a party of idiots.
Lost the plot
The Labour Party is interested in self preservation.What a let down 2 theold Party who really had the peoples' interest at heart Shame on u!
So IF the WILL of the Scottish people was to have another ref. Labour wouldn’t block it, you moan. If the WILL of the Scottish people was to have another ref & the Tories block it, quite right moan. It’s been 12 long years & only 5 since the last ref! Going round in circles....
Don't worry, I'm sure tomorrow they will clarify like they did on Brexit: 'We absolutely probably definitely might not block IndyRef2 depending on which way the wind is blowing and which town Jeremy is visiting to depress everyone on Thursday lunchtime. Tories bad!'
Joint pact with SNP, desperate stuff.
That's good ...as they will never be in government for a Lifetime / Generation at best !
Well they’re not in Govt. currently and with JC in charge are unlikely to be a Govt. so nothing to discuss really.
Imagine if the EU tried to block the Brexshit referendum.
Please Inform the world of the genocide in British Southern Cameroons by Paul Biya of Cameroon. Southern Cameroons needs humanitarian help and an end to this genocide
johnmcdonnellMP Allowing the SNP to perfectly time a second referendum to breakup the UK and Corbyn refusing to act in the national interest by briefly stepping aside for the formation of a National Unity Government to block a No Deal Brexit? Just quit now please.
Did johnmcdonnellMP tell scottishlabour that? And it’s funny how UKLabour supports Scotland’s right to have their referendum again, but not the rest of the UK. Shameless Brexiteers.
Yes they like second votes on stuff
Oh thank fuck for that!
they will say or do anything to gain power. they are so dangerous made the most dangerous thing this country has ever faced.
Labour Govt... what Labour Govt?
That's all very well but what do .!!
God, it’s like a pensioner at a grime jam. TOO FUCKIN LATE NOW INNIT!
They just hate the UK basically. Can we have one major change at a time please?
say goodbye to labour governments in the rest of the UK then :/
Oh look another attempt to try to get votes.
Pretty irrelevant seeing as nobody would dream of letting those commies destroy the economy again.
Not if they need them to stop Brexit they won't
That's all very well but what does Seamus say?
