Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has unveiled what she called a "refreshed" case for independence.

She told a press conference in Edinburgh that her government had an "indisputable mandate" for a second independence referendum.

Ms Sturgeon was launching the first of a series of papers setting out the case to break away from the UK.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the 2014 referendum result should be respected.

And opposition parties accused the Scottish government of being obsessed with independence.

The first minister said it was now time to set out "a different and better vision" for Scotland.

She said it was time to talk abut independence and then to make that choice.

Ms Sturgeon insisted she won last May's election with a "clear commitment to give the people of Scotland the choice of becoming an independent country", and that Holyrood had a "decisive majority" of MSPs in favour of independence.

"The Scottish Parliament therefore has an indisputable democratic mandate," she added.

However, she conceded that a future referendum faced challenges, including what she described as an issue of process. She said Holyrood's power to hold a vote was "contested".
