BORIS Johnson has asked “what the point would be” in holding another Independence referendum in Scotland. 

The Prime Minister says there are too many questions over the fate of “currency, the British Army, and the Queen” amid growing calls for a second vote to possibly break up the United Kingdom. 

Recent polls have shown projected increases in seats for the Scottish National Party in May’s Holyrood elections at the expense of more Union-friendly MSPs.

The SNP unveiled a roadmap to independence at the weekend and says it will hold a referendum if it gains a majority even if denied permission by the UK Government. 

Mr Johnson, speaking during today’s trip to Glasgow, said: “People want to endlessly discuss independence and have a referendum again, even although we had one in 2014. 

“What is that intended to deliver? What happens to the pound? What happens to the army? What happens to the Queen? What happens to our security services? 

“These are fundamental questions to statehood and they haven’t been asked or answered.

“To say you want a referendum is a bit like saying you don’t mind what you eat provided you eat it with a spoon. 

“What’s it all about? We had one of these in 2014 and we were told it was a once in a generation event and let’s take them at their word." 

The Scottish Government’s 670-page white paper on independence released prior to the 2014 vote said the Queen would remain head of state, and a defence force would be set up using existing personnel and assets it said would be “inherited”.

Four different currency options, including the continued use of the pound, were floated.

Mr Johnson added: “Let’s concentrate on what I think the people of this country want and that is to work together to defeat Covid and bounce back.

“That is what I am doing and that’s what most people throughout our country want to achieve.”

When asked if the path to independence matched that of Britain’s journey to leave the EU, where four years of negotiations were needed to finalise a deal and what it meant, Mr Johnson said: “I genuinely don’t think the people of this country want to spend more time on constitutional wrangling.” 

Mr Johnson is currently in Glasgow in a bid to show the “strength of the union” and today visited the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and a vaccination hub in Castlemilk. 

However, some have criticised the visit with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon saying yesterday she did not consider it an "essential" journey. 

James Dornan, Glasgow Cathcart MSP, said today: “Mr Johnson’s trip is notable for one reason only – he will be the last ever UK Prime Minister to visit Glasgow’s Southside before Scotland becomes independent.”
