Scottish Labour leader Leonard says party 'clear' about opposition to indyref2

Scotland's Labour leader Richard Leonard has insisted his party was "clear" about its opposition to a second independence referendum.

He was speaking the day after shadow chancellor John McDonnell said a Labour government would not block indyref2.

Mr Leonard said: "I am clear that the Labour Party's position at the moment is opposition to a second independence referendum.

"John McDonnell has got far more priorities as an incoming chancellor of the exchequer to deal with than a re-run referendum that only took place in 2014."
