THE shadow Scottish secretary says there should be a People’s Vote style ballot after indyref2 to let the electorate decide if they got “what [they] were promised”.

Ian Murray, Scotland’s last remaining Labour MP, pushed hard for a confirmatory vote after Brexit as negotiations struggled along.

Many party members and analysts believe Labour’s 2019 policy, vowing to hold a confirmatory vote on Brexit, was one of the key reasons for its disastrous General Election result.

There have now been 20 consecutive polls showing support for independence is the majority position in Scotland.

“I think that if people get those answers, then they should be entitled to decide whether or not that was what they were promised to start.”

The current Scottish Labour position is that a new referendum should not be held until at least 2026.
