Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland Leaders Sign Pact Calling for Constitutional ChangePreviousNext

Leaders from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland signed a memorandum of understanding asserting their right to self-determination and calling for constitutional change within the United Kingdom. The pact, signed by pro-independence and pro-unification parties, signals growing cooperation but carries no legal force or immediate referendum plans. The leaders emphasized their future lies with the European Union and challenged Westminster's authority, while UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham reaffirmed his commitment to the union and prioritized domestic issues over constitutional debates.
