Nicola Sturgeon Speech, 31 January 2020
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was in Edinburgh today to outline the SNP’s next steps in the campaign for Scotland to become an independent country..
The First Minister said:
“Tonight Scotland will be taken out of the European Union against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of people in Scotland.
"Nothing could more starkly demonstrate how our nation’s needs are no longer served by a broken, discredited Westminster union.
“But there is the prospect of a brighter, better future as an equal, independent European nation.
“And today I will lay out the next steps on Scotland’s journey to independence.
“We have a cast-iron democratic mandate for an independence referendum – and the latest polling shows a majority back Yes.
“Boris Johnson is terrified of the Scottish people having their say but his bid to stand in the way of democracy will not succeed.”
