The 'bottom line' for me, on observing the latest brexit 'climb down', is that if brexit is to go ahead, it will be because the UK govt has sacrificed the Union! That's why quite a few toerags of 'different persuasions' have been scampering around emphasising their political party's conservative and 'unionist' title!
From a Scottish viewpoint, I see this toerag govt being so reliant on the votes of staunch Ulster Unionists and, in thrall to the hard-right UKIP wing of their party, it has repeatedly ignored the wishes of the people of Scotland and our govt to remain within the EU. If Scotland wants to remain in the single market then, quite simply, why can't we? And if they tell us no AGAIN then what can we do about it?? IMO no other choice but go for indy ref 2 and couple that move to the impending Growth Commission report on Scotland's future progress etc which makes for positive reading!
