Tory MP under fire after saying push for independence is 'incredibly depressing'

Andrew Bowie said Nicola Sturgeon's push for another independence vote is "wrong"

A TORY MP has been accused of “an exercise in pointless verbal gymnastics” after saying Nicola Sturgeon was “completely wrong” to be pushing for another independence referendum.

Andrew Bowie said the debate over Scotland’s future had become “incredibly depressing” and insisted the First Minister’s target of holding a vote had become a distraction from other "pressing" matters.
