Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland to sign joint declaration demanding self-determination – report

The leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are scheduled to meet in Cardiff, Wales, to sign a joint declaration demanding the right to self-determination and the ability to hold independence referendums, according to a report from The Telegraph. The declaration will cover areas such as the economy, energy, Europe, and internal cooperation, with the parties reportedly seeking to join the European Union. This move aims to increase pressure on British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who previously indicated a Scottish independence referendum could occur with public support. However, Burnham recently stated that a Scottish independence referendum would be "off limits" for now, citing a lack of consensus.
