Nicola Sturgeon says Scots have the 'right' to demand second independence vote in new push for referendum

Nicola Sturgeon today pushed ahead with her plan to split the UK as she insisted Scots have the 'right' to choose their own future in a second independence referendum. The First Minister called Scotland a 'nation on the brink of making history' as she said she hopes a ballot could be held in the early part of the next term of the Scottish Parliament.  Though Boris Johnson has vetoed calls for a fresh vote on the issue, the SNP will use the campaign to step up their demands for another referendum - six years after a majority voted to stay in the Union.   Her comments on unity came after SNP MP Joanna Cherry used an interview with the Times newspaper to hit out at the 'cult of leader' in the party, insisting it is damaging to 'put all your faith on one person'. Recent opinion polls have suggested that a majority of Scots now support the country becoming independent.   The pro-Union cause took a hit last week after Mr Johnson told MPs over Zoom that devolut

We must not allow our nation to crumble.  'Let me warn you all that we are in great danger if we fall under a Biden administration.' Actor Jon Voight railed against Democrats and California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a video that praised President Trump  In his attack on Democrats, Voight takes direct aim at Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has faced criticism for his coronavirus restrictions and, most recently, a month-long 10pm curfew in California.  'Our state California is being ruled by a leftist mob, and Gov. Newsom is taking away our free

President Donald Trump was joined by his eldest sons Don Jr. and Eric as he took a break from his family Thanksgiving getaway at Camp David on Saturday and returned to the golf course.  The president headed to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, just a day after a federal judge he appointed refused his campaign's request to block Joe Biden from being certified as winner of Pennsylvania's electoral votes.  Trump saluted two Marines in dress uniforms as he climbed from Marine One, wearing his red golf jacket and red 'Make America Great Again' cap with the number 45 embroidered on the side.
