NICOLA Sturgeon has effectively ruled out Indyref2 taking place this year after plans have been left off a list of key actions a re-elected SNP Government will take within the first 100 days of office. The First Minister has insisted that a second vote for independence will not take place until the Covid crisis has been dealt with. Ahead of presenting the SNP Government’s referendum bill to Holyrood before the election, Constitution Secretary Mike Russell pledged a re-run of the 2014 referendum would be held “at the conclusion of the pandemic” - but that has been contradicted by the absence of the policy from the immediate priority list.

SCOTLAND’S Towns Partnership is urging people to support shops and attractions that are close to home as more Covid-19 restrictions are relaxed today. Under the Scottish Government’s route map out of lockdown, today sees stores opening up for the first time since Boxing Day. Shoppers are being asked to consider putting local stores first in a bid to help rebuild the economy after what has been a difficult year for many business owners in Scotland. Scotland’s Towns Partnership chief officer Phil Prentice says it is vital that the economic recovery from the pandemic grows from its grassroots.
