The Prime Minister has made it clear that he will not be going back on his belief that the 2014 vote was a “once in a generation” event. Speaking on Sky News’ Ridge on Sunday, in response to the possibility of a second referendum Mr Johnson said: “No, I don’t want to have one. I don’t see any reason to go back on that assurance”.
Mrs Sturgeon said on the show, “Our future is on the line and it’s a choice of what kind of future we want.’ The SNP leader claimed the PM had ‘omitted to recognise the fact that many things have changed since Scotland had an independence referendum in 2014, not least we face being taken out of the EU against our will”.
The first minister called for “Scotland’s future to be put into Scotland’s hands” at a rally in Glasgow.
She said it was “unsustainable” to block another referendum.
She told a rally in Glasgow that the time would come for the country to break away from the “chaos in Westminster”.
Ms Sturgeon told the crowds: ”Over the next few weeks, it is our job to convince everyone we know to come out on December the 12th and send the biggest, loudest most resounding message to Westminster.
“That it is time for Scotland to choose our own future. It is time for Scotland to be an independent country.

“The days when Scotland has to make do with a choice of the lesser of two evils, these days must come to an end.
“And if you permit me, given that I’ve been speaking about Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, to go off on a bit of a tangent.
“Let me send a message to both of them: why are you so scared to have real debates in this election?
“And my message and my challenge is this: I’ll debate either of you, I will debate both of you, anytime, any place. So stop running scared and come and justify why Scotland should not be independent.”
