New British PM to visit Scotland amid disagreement on no-deal Brexit
LONDON, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Britain's new Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make his first official visit to Scotland on Monday amid opposition to his insistence on pulling the country out of the European Union (EU) even without a deal.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said last week that Scotland, which voted to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum, needed an "alternative option" to Johnson's Brexit strategy, as local media reported.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson also refused to back a no-deal Brexit.
