Nicola Sturgeon: "We congratulate Jeremy Corbyn on his victory and hope that we can work constructively with him in a progressive alliance against Tory austerity. We also call on him to give an early commitment that Labour MPs will join the SNP in voting against the £100 billion renewal of Trident. However, the reality today is that at a time when the country needs strong opposition to the Tories, Jeremy Corbyn leads a deeply, and very bitterly, divided party. Indeed, if Labour cannot quickly demonstrate that they have a credible chance of winning the next UK general election, many more people in Scotland are likely to conclude that independence is the only alternative to continued Tory government. In the meantime, it is clearer than ever that the only credible and united opposition to the Tories, north and south of the border, is the SNP"
Jesus Christ. She's so frank-- "if the rest of Britain dares hold different opinions from us and vote for the party we want, we'll break away". How absolutely childish!
