Scottish Independence

Jackson Carlaw has pledged to supporters of the Union that his party will continue to oppose an IndyRef2, despite what he described as a “disappointing” election result for the Tories in Scotland.

Boris Johnson's Conservative party won backing of nearly seven-out-of-ten Brexiteers, but just one-in-five Remainers, while the Tory vote fell in Scotland in contrast to its performance at UK level, writes Professor John Curtice.

The SNP's general election campaign was dominated by trying to "Stop Brexit" and a majority of Scots still backed parties in favour of staying in the UK, writes Pamela Nash, chief executive of Scotland in Union.

The SNP under Nicola Sturgeon has won another impressive mandate to hold a referendum on Scottish independence, writes former SNP depute leader Angus Robertson.

The SNP must gain seats from the Tories as well as Labour at the 2019 general election if the party is to strengthen its mandate for IndyRef2, a constitutional expert has said.

The SNP needs to win more than two million votes if the party ever wants to be able to claim a mandate for a second independence referendum, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives has claimed.

Rousing clashes over independence, austerity and public services have dominated the final Scottish TV leaders' debate of the election campaign.

Boris Johnson’s untrustworthy character is an issue in this vital general election, but a vote for the SNP will help put a stop to his Brexit plans, writes First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.

Scotland should have the right to determine its own future, writes First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.

The SNP wants to stop Brexit but then plunge Scotland into the even more calamitous break-up of the UK. We need to stick together and tackle pressing problems like education, climate change and mental health services for children, writes Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie.

If the general election results in a Labour government led by Jeremy Corbyn, the UK will be able to end years of austerity, restore support for the Union, tackle the climate crisis and deliver a People’s Vote on Brexit, writes Scottish Labour Party leader Richard Leonard.

In 2017, Nicola Sturgeon was forced to shelve her hopes for Scottish independence and this general election is a chance to put the SNP back in its box, writes Scottish Conservatives leader Jackson Carlaw.

Nicola Sturgeon has warned the Conservatives' record in government suggests they can not be trusted on devolution if the party retains power at Thursday's general election.

Scottish independence could be accelerated by a post-Brexit trade deal between the UK and the US, it has been claimed.
