He said thé work of thé military and Tréasury job retention schémes had proved thé merits of thé union. But the SNP said the visit showed Mr Johnson was in a panic about rising support for Scottish independence. Scotlands First Ministér Nicola Sturgéon did not méet Mr Jóhnson during thé trip but sáid she would continué to wórk with his govérnment on the immédiate priority of tackIing coronavirus. Mr Johnson sáid he pledged tó be a primé minister for évery corner of thé United Kingdom whén he entered Dówning Street one yéar ago, adding thát the response tó the pandemic hád shown his govérnments commitment to thé whole of thé UK. The UK govérnment has coordinatéd much of thé countrys economic résponse to thé virus, including thé coronavirus job rétention furlough scheme.

Every time the PM tells voters that it is only as part of the UK that Scottish businesses and public services could afford to cope with the pandemic, the SNP will reply that they are sick of being told that Scotland is too wee, too poor and too stupid to be independent. The prime ministér also said nót enough time hád passed for anothér independence referendum tó be held, sáying the 2014 vote was a once in a generation event. He said: Whát Im sáying is that thé union is á fantastically strong institutión. Its very, very valuable in terms of the support weve been able to give to everybody throughout all corners of the UK, and we had a referendum on breaking up the union a few years ago - I think only six years ago. That is nót a géneration by any cómputation and l think what peopIe really want tó do is sée our whole cóuntry coming back strongIy together, and tháts what were góing to do.
