Russell Findlay has warned voters not to hand the SNP a majority in May’s election because John Swinney is deadly serious about his plans to break up the UK.
In a speech in Glasgow this morning, the Scottish Conservative leader said Swinney’s ‘secret plan’ for independence would be his sole focus in the next parliament if he achieved his target.
Russell Findlay said: “John Swinney is increasingly confident of winning an outright majority and he is 100-per-cent clear about what that means.
“He says he has a ‘secret plan’ to achieve a referendum. Nothing else will matter to him and his party.
“If there’s one thing I want you to take from this morning, it is this: we must not sleepwalk back in time to 2011.
“We must not allow the SNP to win a majority of seats on May the 7th.
“Because if they do, they will start agitating to break up Britain on May the 8th.
“Be in no doubt. The threat is real.”
