Ian Blackford, Westminsterโs SNP leader has revealed they plotting to hold a vote to remove Scotland from the Union, he said its only a matter of time before the British prime minister gives in to their demands.
Blackford told The National, โBoris Johnson canโt and will not be able to continue to say no. He knows it, we know it.
โThat is why the first minister [Nicola Sturgeon] has signalled our intention to establish a constitutional convention.
โWe will provide the necessary leadership. We will allow momentum to develop.
โLet us stand together, deepen and broaden our support.โ
He warned, if this was not possible, SNP will opt for Plan B in 2021 Holyrood election.
Adding, โIf we cannot achieve it this year, and all our efforts are going to be on making sure that is the case, but if we donโt do it, then this is the backdrop to the 2021 election.โ
The Westminster SNP leader insisted there was โrecognition that an independent Scotland in Europe becomes a destination.โ
He said, โI am having conversation after conversation with those who have moved from No to Yes. There is a recognition that an independent Scotland in Europe becomes a destination.
โWe can rescue Scotland from the isolation that the Tories in Westminster want to consign us to.
โMomentum is with us. Let us not forget the Tories lost more than half their seats in Scotland at the Westminster election on their campaign message of say no to indyref2.โ
Boris Johnson has previously told Nicola Sturgeon the 2014 vote must be respected and is refusing to allow a second Scottish referendum.
