SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon is sending her very best wishes to People's Vote march attendees, gathered in Parliament Square (to a raucous noise of two helicopters over the square). "Let me say this loudly and clearly: if the issue comes before the House of Commons, SNP MPs will support a People's Vote which includes the option to remain in the EU. The Leave campaign has already gone down in history as one of the disingenuous, dishonorable and downright dishonest electoral contests of modern times. Those responsible should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Instead of a coherent vision and a clear prospectus setting out what a vote to leave the EU would mean, all we got instead was waffle and the infamous lie on the side of a bus. Incredible as it seems, things since then have got even worse. The Tory government's handling of these negotiations has been chaotic, incompetent and shambolic. Having spent two years telling us that no deal is better than a bad deal, the Prime Minister is now preparing to pile pressure on MPs to vote for a bad or blindfold deal on the grounds that no deal will be catastrophic. She's trying to scare the UK into frying pan out of fear of the fire. It is a scandal, and it should not be accepted. Of course, Scotland has already voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU. Our vote in 2016 was the most decisive of any of the UK's four nations. That vote should be respected now, and the SNP will work to ensure that Scotland's voice is heard in any future vote. I hope we will have your moral support on that. But despite our deep disquiet at Scotland's voice being ignored, we will back a People's Vote..."
