BORIS JOHNSON could rule out Scottish independence forever if he helps Scotland with some of its devolved powers, one of Britain s foremost constitutional experts told Express.co.uk.
NICOLA STURGEON is facing a crisis after support for Scottish Independence fell by four percent since last November following the Alex Salmond inquiry.
The draft Bill was promised in the legislative programme First Minister Nicola Sturgeon set out last year.
Last month, the SNP also released an 11-point roadmap to an independence referendum - setting out that a ballot could take place if May s Holyrood elections result in a pro-independence majority, even if Westminster refuses to grant a Section 30 order.
This could see the party force the UK Government into a legal challenge, if a Section 30 order is not granted.
21 polls have shown support for Scottish independence since January 2021 but rising tensions within the party over Alex Salmond and the independence approach have threatened this support.
