Starmer on shipyard jobs, immigration and independence

The Prime Minister says the SNP's latest push for another independence referendum are a distraction tactic from the success of new work for Scottish shipyards.

Sir Keir Starmer was speaking at the BAE Systems in Glasgow as he hailed a £10bn contract for frigates for Norway.

It came on the day First Minister John Swinney urged the UK government to agree to a referendum on Scottish independence if the SNP wins a majority at next year's Holyrood election.

Sir Keir was also asked about immigration, Nigel Farage and questions the investigation into Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner's tax arrangements.
