A former Lanarkshire MSP has branded the Scottish Government’s independence proposals “crap” as he called for a new approach for obtaining a referendum.
Ex Airdrie and Shotts MSP Alex Neil, who served as a Cabinet minister under Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond, has also demanded clarity over the First Minister’s plan to use the next General Election as a de facto referendum.
The MSP from 1998 to 2021 spoke to our sister paper, the Daily Record, after the Supreme Court ruled last week that Holyrood cannot legislate for another vote without consent from Westminster.
