According to The Telegraph, the leaders of the three devolved nations plan to sign a joint demand for independence referendums on Monday. The Scottish National Party leader said UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham may be the last prime minister of the United Kingdom.
The Telegraph reports that the leaders of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are planning to sign a joint demand for independence referendums on Monday. According to the report, the move is a coordinated effort to dissolve the United Kingdom. The Scottish National Party leader was quoted as saying that Prime Minister Andy Burnham "begins to grapple with the possibility that he is the last prime minister of the United Kingdom."
The development comes amid a period of transition in British politics. As The Zioneer has reported, Burnham was elected Labour leader and sworn in as Prime Minister in July, following the resignation of Keir Starmer. His government has faced early challenges, including a decision to scrap the UK's digital ID scheme.
The report has not been independently confirmed. The signatories and the exact timing of the announcement remain unverified.
