Scottish Deputy First Minister Shona Gilruth says the “independence trigger” has already been met as she prepares for talks involving Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin.
Multiple outlets report that Gilruth frames the engagement with other UK-wide parties as a significant step. The Evening Standard describes the planned meeting with leaders from Wales and Northern Ireland as a “hugely significant” moment. The Yahoo UK News item similarly highlights Gilruth’s claim that the trigger is already satisfied before the Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin discussion.
While all sources align on Gilruth’s position and the focus on the upcoming cross-party meetings, they differ mainly in emphasis and detail available in the reporting provided. The reporting presented does not include further specifics on what is meant by the independence trigger, the agenda for the meetings, or any response from Plaid Cymru or Sinn Féin within these excerpts.
