Prime Minister Theresa May has defended the United Kingdom as speculation grows that Scottish nationalists will demand a second independence referendum once Brexit talks kick off.
May made the remarks during a speech to party activists in the Scottish city of Glasgow. The Conservative party leader added that her personal priority is keeping England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland together. May added there was no economic case for breaking up the UK. Top officials from the Scottish National Party say the government is obsessed with a hard Brexit which is directly threatening Scottish jobs and livelihoods. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has described Brexit as a game changer and insists a second referendum is highly likely. A large majority of Scots voted in last year's referendum to stay in the EU.
