UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said now is not the time to revisit the issue of a Scottish independence vote in a letter to the country’s Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon on Wednesday. .
Last week, Sturgeon announced plans for a second independence referendum to be held in October 2023 and vowed to take legal action if the British government blocked the attempt.
Johnson posted the letter responding to Sturgeon on the government website:
“As our country faces unprecedented challenges at home and abroad, I cannot agree that now is the time to return to a question, which was clearly answered by the people of Scotland in 2014,” he wrote.
In response to Johnson’s letter, Sturgeon said on Twitter: “To be clear, Scotland will have the opportunity to choose independence – hopefully in a referendum on 19 October 2023, but if not, through a general election.” . Scottish democracy will not be a prisoner of this or any prime minister.”
