SNP Sturgeon's SEPARATIST agenda is real threat to jobs, business & economy - UK Secretary of State

Scottish Secretary Alister Jack has launched a scathing on Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. The Scottish Secretary heckled her "separatist agenda being a real threat to Scotland's jobs, businesses and the economy".

Conservative MP Greg Smith asked the Scottish Secretary if he shared his concern that "the separatist agenda peddled by the SNP is a direct threat to Scottish jobs and that it would inevitably end up, if its dreams come true, in a hard border?"



In the House of Commons, Alister Jack replied:

"I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend that Nicola Sturgeon’s separatist agenda is a real threat to Scotland’s jobs, businesses and the economy, and that is why I am against the First Minister’s demand for another independence referendum. We want 2020 to be a year of growth, stability and opportunity for Scotland and for the whole of the United Kingdom, whereas the SNP wants 2020 to be a year of more political wrangling and wasteful debate."
