The party's new deputy leader in Westminster calls on the PM to 'show leadership' and outline how Scotland can have another say on independence
"However, the prime minister must be in no doubt that for every day Scotland's democracy is denied, the stronger our case will grow."
SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said her party will use the next election as an informal referendum.But her critics have warned this would have no legal validity, urging the SNP to"set aside divisive constitutional issues".
They added:"As the prime minister has been clear, we will continue to work constructively with the Scottish government to tackle our shared challenges."But the pro-independence SNP, which has led the country since 2007, believes it has a mandate to hold a fresh vote because of its continued success in elections - the majority of members in the Scottish Parliament back independence - and because of the change in circumstances since Brexit.
A poll by Ipsos Scotland released this week showed 56% of decided voters supported independence, while 53% of people said they would vote for the SNP in the next general election if it were to be used as a de facto referendum.
