Nicola Sturgeon insists Scotland’s future ‘must be in our own hands’

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Thousands of independence supporters have heard Nicola Sturgeon call for “Scotland’s future to be put into Scotland’s hands”.

The first minister told a major rally in Glasgow the time would come to break away from the “chaos of Westminster” in a second independence poll next year.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said a new Scottish independence referendum was not “desirable or necessary”.

The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats also oppose a further vote.

Ms Sturgeon was one of a number of SNP politicians and independence campaigners to speak at the #indyref2020 rally in George Square.

It was the first time she had spoken at an independence rally since 2014.

The event prompted a counter demonstration by dozens of unionist supporters who waved flags and blew whistles as supporters of Scottish independence gathered.
