On the day Nicola Sturgeon hoped to stage a second referendum, activists give their views on the state of the independence movement.
If all had gone to plan for Nicola Sturgeon, Scots would have been heading to the polls for a second independence referendum.
The SNP won 48 seats at the last election in 2019, but recent polling has suggested the party has lost much of its once huge lead over Labour. "There are people who are not necessarily part of the independence movement who think independence has died," she said. Its 40th event was scheduled in Edinburgh earlier this month, but was called off due to heavy downpours.
Humza Yousaf - who pledged to be the "first activist" after being named as Ms Sturgeon's successor - has sought to strengthen ties with the grassroots movement by attending Yes events. He said while there was still momentum behind the Yes movement, "the political waters are a bit murkier and a bit choppier" following the Supreme Court ruling that the Scottish government did not have the power to legislate for a referendum without Westminster's consent.
