Conservative party supporters boos the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon during Theresa May’s campaign speech

May's supporters boos Sturgeon

A crowd of supporters on Saturday jeered Scotland’s First Minister after being slammed by Theresa May during her campaign.

Tory activists left Theresa May smirking as they hissed at the manner in which the Scottish first minister’s joined forces with other Remain voters to “undermine” Britain’s departure from the European Union.

The dramatic moment as the Conservatives party leader cautioned of the opposition awaiting for the least opportunity to form a coalition after the election in June.

Addressing the congregation, she said: “We’ve already seen the other parties lining up to prop-up Jeremy Corbyn, we’ve seen it from the Liberal Democrats, and we’ve seen it from Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish nationalists too…”

Immediately the PM made mention of Nicola Sturgeon, the most of the audience momentarily booed. The PM enjoying the offensive followers laughed and continued: “And what’s clear is that they will do anything they can to disrupt the Brexit negotiations and to frustrate and undermine the task ahead.”

Irrespective of the fact that she appears to be the favoured candidate of the Conservatives, in the forth-coming election, the PM said she was “not complacent” about the election.

She continued: “If you think about it, the opinion polls got the General Election wrong in 2015, they got the EU Referendum one wrong and as Jeremy Corbyn himself said he was a 200/1 chance for the Labour leadership and look how that went.

“We will not be complacent, we will be fighting for every single vote and every single vote at this election will count because it is about building that stronger future for this country."

Speaking further, she added: “It’s about getting the best possible deal with the European Union, a deal that works for every single part of our country… and it’s only by having a strong and stable government that we can get that right deal.

“Brexit isn’t just a process, it’s an opportunity and we need to be able to take that opportunity. It’s an opportunity to change this country for the better.”

In the meantime, Nicola Sturgeon has accused Mrs May of “putting the interests of her party ahead of the country” by calling an early election.

Speaking on Sky News on Saturday, Ms Sturgeon said the snap vote was a chance for Scots to choose their own future.

She said: “The SNP has a mandate for a second referendum. Not now and certainly this election is not deciding whether or not Scotland becomes independent, but when the time is right when the terms of Brexit are clear then Scotland should have the right to choose its own future.

“We have a mandate for that, we sought that mandate in the Scottish election last year and won that election overwhelmingly.


“But this is of course about whether the will of the Scottish Parliament in that regard is going to be respected.”
