And Theresa May rebuffs the 1st Minister's request as expected and 'calls Nicola's bluff'! I think the UK PM is risking her own position by actually asserting there will be a good deal for the people of Scotland and the UK but no clarity on the subject. Her gambit is based on the assertion that the majority of the Scottish population is not for pushing on with a second referendum. However, next week there will be a successful democratic vote in the Scottish Parliament for a Section 30 order to be activated with the time schedule/constraints stipulated and that will surely force the pressure on May to reconsider her position! IMO ratchet up the pressure on the Tories re Brexit negativity issues like immigration, illegal electioneering etc and start the 'bun fighting' on what I'd term a constitutional dilemma and 'rack up' the debate re Scotland's interests and the way ahead - IMO well thought out by the SNP govt btw!! Also I note the SNP conference is coming up this weekend - well timed eh with the Scottish govt being 'pushed around' by the UK govt and 'snubbed by the Tories' - cute politics indeed!
Lastly note that Daily Mail/Rag headline down south - NICOLA STURGEON, THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN IN BRITAIN! Awwwwww - spoiling the English Brexit 'mess up' party eh!!! Well f### them big time!! They couldnae run a piss up in a brewery, let alone negotiate the country out of the EU!
The potential reunification of Ireland could be May's next 'headache' and it will be curious to see the PM fighting battles on three different fronts!
