Nicola Sturgeon reacts to news that Rishi Sunak backed a post-Brexit indyref

Rishi Sunak had suggested indyref2 could come after Brexit

NICOLA Sturgeon has suggested that there may be “room for discussions” with leadership hopeful Rishi Sunak after it emerged that he backed holding indyref2 after Brexit.

In comments from 2017 unearthed by The National, the then relatively unknown Richmond MP said it would be “hard” to block another referendum and suggested holding it after Brexit would give people a clearer choice.
