Sturgeon discusses implications of a border between independent Scotland and rest of UK

An independent Scotland would likely need a trade border with England, Nicola Sturgeon has conceded when discussing implications of a border between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK.

The Scottish FM said she would do what she could to “keep trade flowing easily across the border”.

Polls suggest the Scottish National Party leader is heading for another majority next month, making the prospect of an independent Scotland all the more likely. Sturgeon has called on Johnson to guarantee another vote if this is the case.
