Boris Johnson has dodged questions on another Scottish independence referendum as he insists his priorities are on dealing with the UK's recovery from the covid pandemic.
The Tory Prime Minister wants to focus on getting as many people across the country vaccinated as possible in order to allow for a full economic recovery.
Johnson, who is on a two-day tour of Scotland, attempted to avoid answering any questions about the constitution during an interview with the BBC.
It comes after Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said the Conservative government "will not stand in the way" of indyref2 if it is the will of the population.
Instead of answering the question about another vote on Scotland's future the Prime Minister praised the vaccine rollout saying it was a "massive credit to the people of Scotland".
Asked about indyref2, Johnson said: "What I will say is that, you talk about working with the First Minister quite rightly, and I want to work with the government in Scotland on what I think is the priority for the people in this country right now.
"I think the vaccine rollout in Scotland has been stunning.
"I think it is a massive credit to the people of Scotland who have come forward.
"We need people to come forward to get their second doses now, and young people to come forward and we want to work together to deliver a stronger economic recovery and for my money, that is the priority.
"My impression talking to everybody around the country and in Scotland, is that people want us to get on with taking us through the pandemic, out the other side and having the strongest possible economic recovery – a vaccine-led economic recovery by which a simple vowel change takes us from ‘jabs, jabs, jabs’ to ‘jobs, jobs, jobs’."
