Three Nations Demand Independence | Belfast News

Donald Trump’s comments on Irish unity reignited cross-island political momentum, prompting Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle ONeill and leaders from Scotland and Wales to unite in demanding Westminster step aside. At a Cardiff summit, SNP, Plaid Cymru, and Sinn Féin signed a bold memorandum pledging joint action on economy, energy, and global affairs — all while pushing for independence referendums. ONeill faces backlash from DUP rivals accusing her of “weaponizing” her office, but she stands firm as First Minister. SNP leader John Swinney cites polling and election results to argue Scotland’s majority supports secession, lambasting UK ministers for blocking another referendum. The trio’s declaration is a clear ultimatum: constitutional change is inevitable, and the British government must prepare to facilitate it.
