BBC host Fiona Bruce interrupted a Question Time debate on Scottish independence to claim that the 2014 vote had settled the issue for “20 to 30 years” ...

Bruce stepped into an exchange between Tory MP Harriet Cross and Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer to suggest that the first independence referendum meant the question could not be asked of the Scottish people again “for a generation”.
