Scottish independence supporters have said it’s time to ‘step up the fight’ following revelations about the party during the lockdown and donor corruption in Downing Street.
The All Under One Banner (AUOB) protest group called for an ’emergency march’ in Glasgow on Saturday to show support for efforts to end the Union.
MP for Aberdeen South Stephen Flynn will speak at the march, which will pass through Scotland’s largest city from George Square to Glasgow Green, starting at 11.15am.
The group called for the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saying “millions” were “furious” with the government in Westminster.
It’s time to leave the mayhem of Westminster behind.
📣 I will be in Glasgow tomorrow to join the march and advocate for Scotland’s future as an independent nation.
🤝 I hope to see a lot of people there. https://t.co/PezHt6W72d
