Ms Sturgeon claimed it would be "absurd and completely outrageous" for the PM to go to court to block another referendum. “In 2011 the SNP under Alex Salmond got a majority, a referendum then followed. “It's important to remember that at that time every party in the Scottish Parliament thought that it was appropriate to hold a referendum then."
