UK's Burnham Closes Door on New Scottish Independence Vote

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has closed the door on a new vote for Scottish independence, saying such a referendum is off-limits. Burnham made the remarks during a meeting with Scotland's First Minister John Swinney in Glasgow on Thursday. The move is seen as a blow to the Scottish National Party's (SNP) plans for another independence referendum. The SNP had been pushing for a new vote, citing the need for Scotland to have control over its own affairs. However, Burnham's comments have put an end to those plans, at least for now.
