While Scotland could join the EU following Brexit, the Conservative Party is determined not to allow a second independence referendum.
Before the election, Boris Johnson said the vote was a “once in a generation” opportunity which wouldn’t come again.
Now, the Duchy of Lancaster has confirmed the newly empowered Conservative Government would bar a future vote.
Speaking to Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday earlier today (December 15), Michael Gove said he could “absolutely” guarantee the Government would never grant a second independence vote for Scotland.
