NICOLA STURGEON could push for a second independence referendum even if Britain remained in the European Union, she said yesterday.
The Scottish First Minister, who has used Brexit to justify plans for a referendum by 2021, indicated that she would still want a vote on Scottish independence if the Brexit decision was reversed in a second nationwide referendum.
Appearing on the Andrew Marr Show, Ms Sturgeon argued that the prospect of Boris Johnson becoming prime minister and “all of the experience of the last three years” mean Scotland should hold another independence vote.
