SNP to publish bill on second independence vote for Scotland 'before the UK leaves the EU'

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has accused British Prime Minister Theresa May of having displayed "disregard for Scotland's democratic voice that was reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher".

The Scottish Government will publish a Bill for a second independence referendum within days, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced.

She said the move is necessary so Scots can reconsider the issue in light of the vote for Brexit and "to do so before the UK leaves the EU".
