Quote:
Nicola Sturgeon has warned Jeremy Corbyn not to "pick up the phone" and ask the SNP to put him in government unless he backs an independence vote.
The Scottish first minister said she was in favour of removing Boris Johnson from office and holding an election.
But she said her backing for a "progressive alliance" relied on a deal to hold an independence referendum.
Mr Corbyn has said he does not think a new independence poll is "a good idea", but has not ruled out allowing one.
Ms Sturgeon wants to hold a new vote in the second half of 2020, but has not yet asked UK ministers to allow it.
