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.
