Indyref2: Scottish Secretary rejects new vote 'for a generation'

Scottish Secretary Alister Jack has said the UK government intends to refuse another independence referendum "for a generation".

In a BBC interview, Mr Jack suggested a generation could be "25 or 40 years".

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon accused him of a "rage against democracy" that would not prevail in blocking indyref2.

Ten opinion polls since June have suggested a majority now favour independence, with 54% on average backing yes.
