Nicola Sturgeon says Scottish referendum WILL happen next year if judges say it's legal

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said an independence referendum will take place in October next year if a crunch court case goes her way - and wowed to fight on if it doesn't.

Ms Sturgeon - who said she intends to remain in charge "for quite some time yet" - lashed out at Tory PM Liz Truss, saying the Conservative Party has taken just three weeks to realise she is a "disaster".

She told the SNP Party Conference in Aberdeen that a vote on Scottish independence will happen on October 19 next year if judges in London rule that the Scottish Parliament can legally legislate for a second referendum.
