THE SNP is showing itself to be “rattled” by the threat posed by Jeremy Corbyn, a Labour MSP said yesterday after Alex Salmond predicted a second Scottish independence referendum.
Speaking on the eve of the anniversary of the 2014 vote, the former SNP leader argued that “support for independence is rising further than the high-water mark of last year.”
He attributed this to “the non-delivery of the vow, the austerity economics, Cameron’s gambling with Scotland’s European future and the unelectability of a divided Labour Party.”
