Nicola Sturgeon does not really want to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence, the former leader of the Better Together campaign has claimed.
Alistair Darling, a former Labour chancellor who led the successful pro-Union campaign in 2014, questioned the sincerity of the First Minister and her stated aim of holding an IndyRef2 by the end of next year.
Sturgeon unveiled the first in a series of Scottish Government papers last week which are aimed at convincing Scots of the benefits of independence.
