LABOUR has ruled out an alliance with the SNP to oust Boris Johnson if a general election is called.
Shadow chancellor John McDonell's suggestion that the party would not stop a second independence referendum in Scotland fuelled speculation that Labour could form a pact with the SNP.The Denton and Reddish MP also said the new Prime Minister is a “charlatan” who is papering over the cracks of a no-deal Brexit with his “bravado and bluster”.He said: “I think that what we should say as we would govern as a Labour government.

We would let the Scottish people decide.
