A TOP Tory minister has dodged a question about rumoured plots to “rig” indyref2 to beat the independence movement.
Penny Mordaunt, the new Leader of the House, remained tight-lipped when she was confronted about newspaper reports that Liz Truss is planning to change the rules on a future independence referendum by baking in a disadvantage to Yes.
Mordaunt, who was eliminated in the late stages of the Tory leadership campaign, refused to comment on the rumoured plans, which would require a majority of the electorate to vote Yes for Scottish independence to win the poll.
