‘Perfectly affordable’ to name for second independence referendum for Scotland, says Flynn

The SNP’s Westminster chief says it is now "perfectly reasonable" to name for Scotland to be given a second independence referendum, following Thursday’s elections.

Speaking to Sky News, Stephen Flynn says: "We now have more pro-independence MSPs coming into Holyrood than ever before to make clear to Westminster that the people of Scotland should have the chance and the opportunity to decide their own future."

The SNP has misplaced its majority within the Scottish Parliament, however stays the biggest celebration.
