"They will take a view about whether they want another referendum. Nicola Sturgeon said by late next year or the beginning of 2021. We would not block something like that. We would let the Scottish people decide. That's democracy.
Mr Leonard has said that if Labour took power in Westminster the party would refuse to grant the Scottish parliament at Holyrood the power to hold another vote. "I think we'd form a minority government, seek to implement our manifesto and we'd expect the other opposition parties and other MPs to vote for those policies and if they don't, we'll go back to the country.
"The Labour Party is an internationalist party founded on a vision of solidarity and we should never seek to appease nationalists, whether they be for Brexit or Scottish independence, who want to divide communities and people."SNP MSP George Adam said:"It is for the Scottish people to decide upon their future. The Scottish government has a crystal clear mandate to give them that choice.
"We trust this position will now receive the fulsome backing of Richard Leonard and Scottish Labour."

Idiot's
Time to get rid of them from public office as they are danger to this nation.
The United Kingdom can vote freely and uninformed to leave the EU...(imagine if the EU had said no...you can't have a referendum) Then why couldn't Scotland have another informed referendum to leave the United Kingdom...it's only democratic. Free will to choose. Things change.
I very much doubt that the Islington Vegan Ladies Guild wield that sort of power anyway.

Former Labour MP Fiona Onasanya struck off as a solicitorTribunal decision comes after conviction for perverting course of justice over speeding Amazing that her criminal act meant she had to be struck off as a solicitor yet did not prevent her remaining as an MP. Well in the toss up between 1. '3 points and £60', and 2. 'Your reputation, your freedom and your career', number 2 seemed like the better idea at the time. One less crooked solicitor and mp, Surely Peterborough council could employ her to clean the toilets! She had enough of the councillors cleaning hers! 30 days in jail not one day of community service, looks like she had some friends in important places.
