:00:28. > :00:30.another independence referendum - saying the wishes of

:00:54. > :01:02.They won't take no for an answer. Nicola Sturgeon excited her party
:01:03. > :01:05.conference with a defiant message, indirectly at Theresa May and her
:01:06. > :01:09.refusal to allow a Scottish referendum. She has time to think
:01:10. > :01:15.again, and I hope she does. If her concern is timing, then, within
:01:16. > :01:19.reason, I am happy to have that discussion. But let the Prime
:01:20. > :01:26.Minister be in no doubt, the will of our Parliament must and will
:01:27. > :01:30.prevail. APPLAUSE The Tories were loved and still
:01:31. > :01:36.allow Scotland a choice isn't really hard to fathom. They are now
:01:37. > :01:42.terrified of the verdict of the Scottish people. Striding into the
:01:43. > :01:49.middle of the argument today, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. I fear
:01:50. > :01:54.for a divided Scotland. I fear for bitter acrimonious debate over
:01:55. > :01:58.perhaps two years, maybe even four years. And I fear we are now seeing
:01:59. > :02:06.people entrenched into extreme positions. He says he has a third
:02:07. > :02:11.option. If new powers over agriculture and fishing, VAT rates
:02:12. > :02:13.and the right to conclude international trade treaties were
:02:14. > :02:19.devolved to Scotland, he thinks there would need to be a vote on
:02:20. > :02:22.full independence. His interventions in the last Scottish referendum more
:02:23. > :02:26.influential, but he's been accused of not delivering what was promised
:02:27. > :02:31.them. In 2014 during the independence referendum you said if
:02:32. > :02:35.Scotland voted No we would be living in close to what would be a federal
:02:36. > :02:40.state, we are not, it's a broken promise. I said the federal powers I
:02:41. > :02:43.was proposing were welfare powers, employment powers, environmental
:02:44. > :02:46.powers, taxation power was. These powers were delivered. You said as
:02:47. > :02:51.close to a federal state as we could be within the UK. Yes because I
:02:52. > :02:55.think the UK now has to change, at that time I think it was impossible
:02:56. > :02:59.to envisage big regional devolution in England, I think that's now
:03:00. > :03:06.possible. Nicola Sturgeon will not sign off on anything less than a
:03:07. > :03:11.vote on independence for Scotland. So we have a stand-off between the
:03:12. > :03:14.First Minister of Scotland and the Prime Minister of the United
:03:15. > :03:18.Kingdom, neither of them prepared to back down. So what happens now? Next
:03:19. > :03:24.week there will be a vote in the Scottish parliament in Edinburgh and
:03:25. > :03:27.they will certainly backed a call for another independence referendum.
:03:28. > :03:30.Nicola Sturgeon will go ahead and make a formal request to Theresa May
:03:31. > :03:35.for that referendum even though she knows what the answer is going to
:03:36. > :03:40.be. Then we'll see whether or not her offer to negotiate over the date
:03:41. > :03:42.of a referendum is taken up by the Prime Minister. Theresa May didn't
:03:43. > :03:47.say she would block a Scottish referendum outright, she said, now
:03:48. > :03:48.is not the time. Nicola Sturgeon wants to see when the time for
:03:49. > :03:54.another vote might be. A man's been shot dead at Orly
