(Reuters) – Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon asked British opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to back a snap general election during a secret meeting, The Sun reported on Thursday.
“Nicola Sturgeon and Ian Blackford (SNP spokesman) saw Jeremy and asked for his support to jump with them,” the newspaper reported bit.ly/33XvITY, citing a Labour MP. “I don’t believe he gave them an answer.”
