Former head of Better Together campaign calls on Boris Johnson to stay out of Scottish independence debate The former head of the Better Together campaign has called for Boris Johnson to stay out of the debate on Scottish independence. Blair McDougall, who led the No campaign in the 2014 referendum told the Daily Record, he agreed with Labour MP Ian Murray that the Prime Minister poses a “greater threat to the UK than any nationalist does”. The comments come amid recent polls showing growing support for Scottish independence with the SNP also polling strongly in Scottish election polls. The SNP has outlined its road map to independence which includes plans to hold another referendum even if Westminster refuse permission, effectively daring them to take legal action to stop it.
