Momentum for constitutional change undeniable, says Swinney
- On Monday, First Minister John Swinney will meet Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth and Sinn Féin vice president Michelle O'Neill in Cardiff to discuss constitutional change and independence across the United Kingdom.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham appeared to suggest independence votes could occur if demanded, prompting Downing Street to quickly backtrack and claim such votes remain "off limits" due to lack of consensus for an independence referendum in Scotland.
- Swinney argues the Westminster system "is not fit for purpose," claiming the momentum behind constitutional change is "undeniable" as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are led by pro-independence First Ministers for the first time ever.
- Tory MSP Rachael Hamilton criticized the trip, stating "the majority of Scots don't want another damaging and divisive referendum" and urging Swinney to focus on his actual job rather than pushing to break up the United Kingdom.
- Seeking a "fresh start of independence," Swinney remains focused on discussing a better future with partners across these islands, aiming to move toward a "post-UK future" despite ongoing political opposition to his independence agenda.
