it will be interesting to see if she refers to that interview and the words that she used in her speech. yeah, there may well be a reference to that later this afternoon when nicola sturgeon gets on the stage here on the final day of the snp conference. i think what we cannot expect any big announcement on independence because we know what her tactics are, we have got a supreme court case later this week where scottish government lawyers will argue that politicians at holyrood abbey legal right to legislate have the legal right to legislate have the legal right to legislate for another referendum. failing that, nicola sturgeon s plan is to use the next uk general election as a de facto proxy referendum. some unanswered questions about how that would work and some scepticism here at conference if that would ever ultimately be able to deliver independence. relations between the snp and the uk government are not in
scotland to secure economic security is via independence. of course, that would largely be expected from an snp conference. what was also really interesting from ian blackford is a focus on labour and at the point where polls suggest labour pulling ahead of the conservatives uk wide and interestingly the snp earning some attention to criticising the labour party, perhaps a few there from some scottish voters that may be tempted by a resurgent labour but important to stress in all of that the snp have been in powerfor 15 years in scotland and still remain dominant at this point. five teenagers in hong kong have been found guilty of advocating a violent revolution against the chinese state. they were sentenced to up to three years in detention, making it the first time any hong kong citizens under the age of 18 have been convicted under the national security law. earlier, i spoke to our news reporter azadeh moshiri and asked her what we know about the case. according to what was said
having a people s vote, this has one on. ., ., .., ., ,, ., gone on. you and nicola sturgeon did combat in the gone on. you and nicola sturgeon did combat in the independence - combat in the independence referendum in 2014, how she managed to change your mind? ida. referendum in 2014, how she managed to change your mind? to change your mind? no. what is strikin: is to change your mind? no. what is striking is that to change your mind? no. what is striking is that this to change your mind? no. what is striking is that this argument i to change your mind? no. what isj striking is that this argument from the snp striking is that this argument from the snp perspective is always characterised by giving the impression that somehow everybody in scotland impression that somehow everybody in scotland wants another referendum and it scotland wants another referendum and it has scotland wants another referendum and it has been botched by the conservative party in westminster. 0pini
glitz both on behalf of the lord advocate and the scottish national party, which stressed the right of self determination in international law. the minister has announced that and i m completely in agreement with her that until such times as we see what thejudgment of her that until such times as we see what the judgment of the supreme court is, there is no need to flush out the later parts of her strategy. we need to wait and see what the supreme court says. we need to take this back to basics because this is not really an issue of law. this is an issue of politics and constitutionality. there is a majority in the scottish parliament in favour of a second independence referendum. the last time that happened, the british government came to the negotiation table and agreed that there could be a referendum. that is the custom and practice of the constitution. lexi the first minister practice of the constitution. lexi the first minister has to say. we will be back to you later on. nicol
scotland, for me and the snp, the choice is simple. we put our pasty people in election or we give up on scottish democracy. i will never, ever give up on scottish democracy. used to say doing anything other than having a legal, legitimate referendum was a unionist trap, to use your words. a few years ago at your party conference people put forward the idea of using a general election and you said it was a trap. it should be a last resort. i do not want to be in that position. whether you support or oppose independence, both those views are valid. i am clearly on one side of that debate. whatever your view on independence, the way to decide it is in a democratic, lawful referendum. mot the way to decide it is in a democratic, lawful referendum. not a reneral democratic, lawful referendum. not a general election? democratic, lawful referendum. not a general election? a democratic, lawful referendum. not a general election? a general democratic, lawful referendum. not a general ele
