Julia hartley-brewer smirks as she stuns snp mp with crucial point

Radio host Julia Hartley-Brewer clashed with SNP MP, Drew Hendry, in a fierce debate over respecting referendum results. The radio host was left smirking after she pointed out to Mr Hendry

that he should respect the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum, if a future Scottish independence vote was to be respected. The SNP MP said: “It would be a democratic outrage for

Westminster to refuse the people of Scotland their say on such an important matter when there has been a material change in circumstances. “Particularly over the situation where it looks

like Boris Johnson is trying to engineer a no deal Brexit and all of the harm and consequences that comes with in terms of jobs and living standards.” The radio host replied: “Of course, you

would want to be respecting the referendum result, that would in return allow you to respect the referendum result from the EU referendum in 2016.” The radio host was seen smirking as the

SNP MP replied. But, as he spoke Ms Hartley-Brewer quickly cut him off. She said: “Oh, no no no, hold on a minute. If the SNP want people to respect a referendum result in a second

referendum - where you may possibly vote to Leave. READ MORE: STURGEON LAUNCHES SHOCK ATTACK ON 'SOUL-DESTROYING' TALKS WITH MAY “I think it’s safe to say people who want a second

referendum are people who want to change the current circumstance, otherwise, why have one? On that basis, given you had a vote in 2014, which should also be respected. Which was a vote to

stay. Only 45 percent wanted to Leave. “You have to accept the UK-wide poll in 2016, to leave the EU was not counted on an England basis it was counted on a UK-wide basis.” Mr Hendry pointed

out a lot has changed in the UK since the “referendum in 2016”. He said: “The Scottish Government, indeed the Scottish Parliament did try to compromise over Brexit and say ‘if you have to

do this, then you should respect what is required in Scotland, so here is a paper which the Scottish Government produced on how Brexit have the least form of harm on Scotland’. “The UK

Government, Westminster, completely ignored that attempt to look for some common ground.” Speaking at an Edinburgh Fringe Festival event on Monday with Iain Dale, Nicola Sturgeon said she

believes there is a growing sense of urgency for Scotland to become independent. The First Minister said: "I think there is growing support for independence in Scotland and I think

there is, accompanying that, a growing sense of urgency that if we don't want to get dragged down a path, and I'm not just talking about Brexit here although largely that's

what I mean, but dragged down a sort of political path that we don't want to go down, then we need to consider becoming independent sooner rather than later. "Anecdotally, I have

been detecting that shift that's shown up in the Ashcroft poll for quite some time now and I think we are now starting to see that manifest itself in the opinion polls." Ms

Sturgeon added: "I think the case for independence is an entirely optimistic one, it's about being in charge of our future, it's about making our own luck, owning our own

mistakes and learning from them." DON'T MISS: Julia Hartley-Brewer lashes out at Lord Adonis' no deal Brexit claim [VIDEO] Brexit deal: How will Boris get no-deal by

as Prime Minister to try to rally support behind his Brexit plan. During his time in Scotland Mr Johnson met with Ms Sturgeon and Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson. Following Ms

Sturgeon’s meeting with Mr Johnson last week, the First Minister claimed the Conservative Party leader had said there shouldn't be another Scottish independence referendum. Ms Sturgeon

said: "We had a very lively discussion, we had a session where it was just the two of us in the room and then we were joined by our officials. "In both of those sessions we had a

very lively exchange of views about independence. I made clear my government's intentions to pass the framework Bill to allow a referendum to take place next year. "He made the

case that he was for the Union, and didn't think Scotland should have the right to choose. And we had a to-ing and fro-ing on the pros and cons of independence.”
