Truss says ignore 'attention seeker' Sturgeon
Liz Truss said she would not back a second Scottish independence referendum if she becomes prime minister
, Ms Truss described herself as "a child of the Union", having spent some of her youth living in Paisley. Tory party members then cheered and applauded as she said: "I think the best thing to do with Nicola Sturgeon is ignore her."What we need to do is show the people of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales what we're delivering for them and making sure that all of our government policies apply right across the United Kingdom.
However MSP Murdo Fraser of the Scottish Conservatives said he would ignore Mr Swinney's "manufactured outrage" on the issue. "There are other priorities the Scottish government should be focussing on - not least the NHS, the appalling rate of drugs deaths, trying to rebuild our economy post-Covid."
