'Indy and Brexit rows hurting Scotland - Labour leader's visits Scotland

Good Afternoon,

The people of Scotland are being left behind by Holyrood and Westminster administrations distracted by Brexit and independence, Sir Keir Starmer has claimed.

Writing in The Scotsman today, the Labour leader offers up a stinging assessment of both governments' handling of coronavirus as he makes his first trip north of the border since becoming party leader.

Latest indy poll

A new poll, undertaken by Survation has found only 28 per cent of people viewed another referendum as a priority. The survey was commissioned by pro-union campaign group Scotland in Union and found two-thirds of Scots believe that independence should not be a priority for the Scottish Government at this time.
