Rishi Sunak will use a visit to Scotland to highlight the benefits of remaining in the United Kingdom, as he seeks to counter Nicola Sturgeon’s push for independence.
The Prime Minister is expected to hold face-to-face talks with the First Minister during his two-day trip, which begins today.
Details of the visit have yet to be confirmed, but the Daily Telegraph said it will tie in with the announcement of two new green freeports, expected to be near Edinburgh and Inverness.
