JOHN Swinney has argued that Scotland should have the right to choose its constitutional future, agreeing that revisiting independence should be treated the same as revisiting Brexit.

Facing questions from backbenchers on Tuesday, Swinney was asked about UK ministers' proposals for seeking a closer relationship with the EU, and Andy Burnham's recent comments that the UK could completely rejoin.
