Question the tendency of swept wing to tip stall...

hy

I don`t have a clue why the tendency of a swept wing to tip stall is due to the induced spanwise flow of the boundary layer from root to tip! Can anybody help me, to understand why there is a flow from the root to the tip, and why this will cause the wing tip to stall!!

I appreciate your help, Peter
