Scotland prepares to vote on second referendum

The Scottish Parliament is preparing to vote on whether to hold a second independence referendum, after two days of debate.


It comes after Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, accused Westminster of not listening to Scotland over Brexit.


She believes the country should decide whether it wants to follow the UK into a hard Brexit or opt for independence.


UK Prime Minister Theresa May has already rejected Mrs Sturgeon's plans to hold a second Scottish referendum between Autumn 2018 and Spring 2019.


Mrs May told MPs in the Commons that she wants the UK to remain united.
