Starmer says no independence referendum while he is prime minister

The prime minister insists it is more important to focus on the economy than the constitution.

Added context is mine. Its like he wants the SNP to take over Holyrood next year. Not doing his little Englander image any good in Scotland with comments like this, just another colonialist

    Having a once-on-a-lifetime holiday doesn’t preclude you from having another holiday on the chance it’s another once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

    And “opportunity” adds a whole bunch of context. Support was high for independence, a government was in power that was (and still is) popular and progressive, and the UK government agreed to respect the result. That, to me, is what “opportunity” means: the time is right.
    If there is another surge of support, another Scottish government is elected on the premise of independence and delivers such a crushing victory as the SNP did, then it’s just down to the UK government denying the Scottish Government.
