据《每日电讯报》周日报道，苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的领导人将于周一举行会晤，签署一项联合声明，此举可能导致英国分裂。

峰会将在威尔士卡迪夫举行，预计三位领导人将签署一项联合声明，要求获得自决权，并获准举行独立公投。

据《每日电讯报》报道，该声明将涵盖多个领域，包括经济、能源、欧洲、内部合作以及自决。

据报道，三方将主张，它们应被允许加入欧盟。苏格兰和威尔士将以新成员身份加入，北爱尔兰则将作为爱尔兰共和国的一部分被纳入。

The memorandum is also set to include commitments to strengthening ties with European nations in preparation for the push for independence. Sources told The Telegraph that the declaration aims to increase pressure on British Prime Minister Andy Burnham after he stated that a Scottish independence referendum could be held if it was backed by public support. Burnham claims that there is no consensus for Scottish independence referendum On Thursday, however, Burnham reportedly sent a letter to Scottish National Party head and Scottish First Minister John Swinney, in which he insisted that a Scottish independence referendum would be “off limits” for the time being.据《每日电讯报》报道，伯纳姆声称“苏格兰没有就独立公投达成共识，也没有明确依据表明北爱尔兰多数民众目前希望脱离英国。”

据称，首相断言此类公投会分散人们对发展英国经济和降低生活成本这一必要任务的注意力。周日，斯温尼声称独立运动背后的势头“不可否认”，并推测伯纳姆可能“作为联合王国的最后一任首相载入史册”。

“有史以来第一次，苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰都由支持独立的首席部长领导。没有比这更明确的迹象表明现状不可持续——威斯敏斯特必须为后英国时代做好准备。”
