SNP seize on Blair’s comments that case for Scottish independence is “much more credible” in light of Brexit vote THE SNP leadership has seized on Tony Blair’s remarks that the case for Scottish independence was “much more credible” after the Brexit vote and that a second referendum was now “back on the agenda”. In a keynote speech in London for Open Britain, which campaigns against a so-called “hard Brexit” outside the European single market, the former Prime Minister called on pro-Europeans to “rise up” and persuade Leave voters to change their minds in the face of a Conservative Government bent on pursing “Brexit at any cost”.
