British Prime Minister Theresa May accused of being scared of second Scottish independence referendum

Theresa May accused by SNP leader

Theresa May and members of her Conservatives Party has been accused by SNP deputy leader of being afraid of another Scottish independence referendum which is billed to take place between 2018 and 2s019.

The purported accusation follows after the PM announced her rejection for second independence referendum for Scotland, until Brexit negotiations are over.

During the SNP’s spring conference in Aberdeen, Mr Robertson would be telling the people of Scotland that, it is in their hands to decide their future.

He will say: "It is clear from the PM's panicked response to the Scottish Government's decision to, rightly, give people in Scotland a choice over Scotland's future, that the Tories are simply scared of the people's choice.

"The Tories' argument is not about process, it is about their desperate desire to prevent anyone having the chance to reject the hard right Brexit that they are so wedded to.

"The truth is it should not be for either Theresa May or the Scottish Government to decide Scotland's future - that choice belongs to the parliament and the people of Scotland, and it is one this party will never shy away from."


Meanwhile in her respond to the announcement by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of her plan to stage a fresh vote on independence between autumn 2018 and spring 2019, Mrs May argued "now is not the time".
