SNP deputy leader Angus Robertson accused the Tories yesterday of being “scared” to allow Scots the opportunity to reject Brexit by agreeing to another independence referendum.

There is “no doubt” that there would be another vote on the matter, he insisted.

Speaking at the SNP’s spring conference in Aberdeen, Mr Robertson said Scots “will not be denied their say” and warned that “no UK Prime Minister should dare to stand in the way of Scotland’s democracy.”
