Jeremy Corbyn rules out Indyref2 in first Labour term even if SNP win majority in Scotland

on Scottish independence in the first term of a Labour government, even if the SNP gets a majority in Scotland.

In an interview as he kicked off his two-day tour of Scotland in Glasgow, Mr Corbyn said: "No referendum in the first term for a Labour government because I think we need to concentrate completely in investment across Scotland."

But pressed if it would be an undemocratic move , he said: "If the SNP win the majority of seats that's the election of those MPs. I'm very clear that a Labour government's priority is investment in Scotland."

Aides later backtracked and made it clear that Labour's position could change if the SNP won a majority in Holyrood in 2021.
