✍️ HumzaYousaf | On the anniversary of the Brexit vote, the First Minister says Scotland has suffered from an act of 'economic vandalism'
Seven years ago today Scotland voted to remain in the European Union. Every single council area in the country voted to Remain, with almost two-thirds of Scots rejecting Brexit. But voters in England and Wales chose to leave, so Scotland - against its will - was dragged out of the EU.
Scotland didn't vote for this. But Westminster doesn't care. The public won't forgive the Tories for imposing their hardline Brexit on our workers, businesses and industries. The damage they have inflicted on our economy is, in many respects, irreparable. Scottish politics With the Tories and Labour now locked in a battle to be Brexit's top cheerleader - there is no route back into the European Union while Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom. If we are to begin the process of reversing the impact of Brexit, Scotland must escape the broken Westminster system and chart our own course.
