government events , because a matter wholly , because it is a matter wholly reserved to the united kingdom parliamenting which supports the united kingdom's government's long standing position on this matter. people want to see the scottish parliament and the scottish focus on issues that matter them, not on constitutional division. here, people across scotland rightly want expect to see both the government's and the united kingdom and, the scottish government working together with a relentless focus on the issues matter to them, their families and their communities . the prime minister communities. the prime minister has been very clear and has demonstrated since day one, that it is our duty to work constructively with the scottish government . we fully respect the government. we fully respect the devolution settlement and we want to work together with the scottish government on vital areas tackling of areas, tackling the cost of living , growing our economy and living, growing our economy and leading the international response to russia's illegal war in ukraine. at this time , in ukraine. at this t

if scotland was to secede from united kingdom, would spell the end for the united kingdom, essentially. and that is not a headache. i think the british parliament in london once at the moment, i mean you've got a similar distance in the north of orland where for the 1st time you have a catholic majority which could potentially be a pro nationalist, a majority on the island of r as well which could spell the end for northern ireland, and if scotland was to follow suit, or either where to do that, that would spell the end for the united kingdom. and scotland was an independent state from the 9th century, up until the 17 o. 7. arlen similarly joined the union in $81.00, and if that was to break the part, it would spell significant difficulties for the london government. so more of the reason shay, in your opinion that the people of scotland are even considering independence is that is an economic thing. what are your thoughts? yeah, i mean again, as i said that scotland is a distinct, ancient culture. they have their own language heritage and there's been a resurgence in that identity and breaks. it has been a huge issue in scotland where a majori

and that's understandable because the scottish parliament is an organ of the united kingdom state andse limits are part of that constitution , no part of that constitution, no settlement, but the future of scotland is not a matter . for scotland is not a matter. for the uk. solely or for domestic law. this is a matter of the ancient nation of scotland and re—establishing its rightful place as an independ and member of the international community . of the international community. and our position is that the people of scotland, the sovereign of scotland who have the right to self—determination and to freely determine our political status and to pursue our economic , cultural and our economic, cultural and economic and social development as an independent country. economic and social development as an independent country . and i as an independent country. and i don't think anybody is in the position tell us that we can or can't do that. no way are they possession of the scottish first minister is that she will accept that the work from civil servants within the uk status to apparatus sh
