Ms Sturgeon said at the launch a referendum should be held a teh end of the Brexit process.

Mr Rennie, said: “The SNP must think we are stupid.

“They barely mentioned independence today but we know independence will be their top priority once the election is over.

“ At every election they pretend they are fighting for the greater good but all they ever fight for is independence. “
