NICOLA Sturgeon's fresh independence plot was torn to shreds last night as Boris Johnson threw her demands for "democracy" right back at her.
Scotland's First Minister said she had an "indisputable mandate" for another referendum and told the PM to "be a democrat" and grant one.
Launching her new Indy campaign, she said a "decisive majority" of MSPs now supported leaving the UK.
But Mr Johnson told HER to be a democrat and respect the outcome of the No vote just eight years ago.
He slapped her down: "I think the decision was taken by the Scottish people only a few years ago, in recent memory. I think we should respect that."
Westminster must give its blessing to any new ballot with a Section 30 order, although Ms Sturgeon has threatened to contest this.
