Sturgeon says election result will send ‘clear’ message on indyref2

At a converted warehouse on the banks of the Clyde, Nicola Sturgeon launched the Scottish National Party’s election manifesto today with a pledge to stop Brexit.

Her party was the third largest at the last general election – and could be in a pivotal position if next month’s poll returns a hung parliament.

Now she’s put Labour on notice she wants an early independence referendum as the price of supporting them – and locking the Conservatives out of power.
