Piers Morgan explodes at Nicola Sturgeon in heated ITV GMB row – 'More Scots want to stay'


Piers Morgan dismantled Nicola Sturgeon‘s demand to hold a new referendum on Scottish independence by whipping out latest data showing a majority of Scots now want to stay in the UK. Latest YouGov polls for The Times have shown 56 percent of Scottish voters would vote no in a new independence referendum against 44 percent supporting Yes, a one percent change in favour of the union compared to 2014. The ITV Good Morning Britain host said: “You’ve spent the last few weeks, and you’ve done this all year, absolutely emphasising support for independence in Scotland is rising.

The people of Scotland know they have made a terrible mistake and they want to readdress that in another referendum and they want to leave.

“It does prompt the question – how could it be, if that is the case, that YouGov last week, in their latest poll about this, says 56 percent of voters in Scotland want to stay in the UK versus 44 percent.”

Mr Morgan continued: “The gap has absolutely, as you said, changed but it has changed against you.

“More Scots now want to stay than they did in the referendum five years ago.”

The First Minister has long clamoured for a second independence vote claiming Scotland deserves to be given the chance to decide whether to stick with the UK in the aftermath of Brexit.
