- Scotland could be just “one election” away from independence, according to Ash Regan, the outsider in the race to become the next Scottish National party leader.
- Regan has become the voice of impatient SNP supporters whose votes could be decisive in deciding the winner.
- SNP members start voting on Monday for a new leader to replace Nicola Sturgeon.
- Regan said she would work to reunite Scotland’s wider pro-independence movement to bring the SNP together with other groups.
- Regan's opposition to legislation intended to make it easier for trans people to gain official recognition of their gender has put her directly at odds with the Scottish Greens.
