Nicola Sturgeon has promised that a referendum will be held "in a lawful manner" next year as she set out the renewed case for Scottish independence.
The SNP leader said Scots should “lift our eyes with hope and optimism” as she presented the “advantages and potential” of an independent Scotland and said the status quo is not an option.
She said: “After everything that has happened, Brexit, Covid, Johnson, it is time to set a different and better vision. It is time to talk about making Scotland wealthier and it’s time to talk about independence.”
