THE SNP’s Westminster leader has U-turned after opening the door to a deal with Reform UK that would put Nigel Farage’s party into power if they agreed to a second independence referendum.

Speaking to The National Podcast, Dave Doogan – who has led the SNP Westminster group since Stephen Flynn was elected to Holyrood in May – said he believed that Prime Minister Andy Burnham will call a General Election in 2028.
