Ex-minister Michael Gove says he doesn't think a second Scottish independence referendum is necessary.

John Swinney said last week that he wanted to achieve "demonstrable support" for independence.

Gove was part of a government that rejected requests from the Scottish government for a second referendum.

He says the important lesson is "not to change the manager" but to "stick together as a team". That reassurance may go down well with both UK party leader Kemi Badenoch and Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay , who must scale political mountains if they are to deliver success. But there may yet be a warning contained within Mr Gove 's Aberdeen FC comparison. They have finished the season in fifth place. That's the sort of fate the Scottish Conservatives are desperate to avoid..
