Nationalist leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland unite for independence

The leaders of Scotland's, Wales', and Northern Ireland's main pro-independence parties have signed a pact calling for independence from the UK. The Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru, and Sinn Féin aim to hold a new referendum in Scotland by 2031. The pact, signed by John Swinney, Rhun ap Iorwerth, and Michelle O'Neil, claims that the time of the Westminster system has come to an end. UK Prime Minister's office has stated that a hypothetical Scottish referendum is "off the table", according to Andy Burnham.
