Nicola Sturgeon, pictured with local MPs Brendan O’Hara (Argyll and Bute) and Martin Docherty-Hughes (West Dunbartonshire) has said Jeremy Corbyn will cave in over allowing a second independence referendum next year if he becomes Prime Minister and he is under “no illusions” about her demands for putting him in 10 Downing Street.
The First Minister dismissed Mr Corbyn’s insistence he would not hand her the powers for another separation vote in the “formative years” of a Labour Government, saying it was not “sustainable.” In a direct challenge to the Labour leader during an election campaign stop in Edinburgh, she refused to compromise on her preferred timing of late next year for the ballot.
