EU have told Britain that Northern Ireland will be staying in the single market and custom unions after Brexit so there isn't a hard border. Sturgeon has come out and said well if the EU are keeping Northern Ireland in the single market and custom unions then Scotland should be in it as well. If Northern Ireland are kept in by the EU then the DUP could break up there confidence and supply agreement with the Tories meaning another General Election very soon and possibly Indy 2 for Scotland.

If Scotland stays in the single market and custom unions that means there will need to be a hard border between Scotland and England unless the whole of the UK stay in the single market and custom unions.

I think what needs to happen now is cancel Article 50, have a 2nd referendum on the membership of the EU and if it's Leave again we Leave and if it's Remain we stay. If on a 2nd referendum its Leave there needs to be a cross-party Government put in place like they had during the War where they all worked together and then call a General Election straight after so the British people can decide who they want in charge after Brexit for the next 5 years or so.

Think we are reaching the tipping point now matt. That fudge in december was never going to last because it was an impossibility that someone wasn't going to get what they wanted. Ireland is a circle that can't be squared unless the UK stays in the customs union.

Said it for a while now - the situation in ireland may kill brexit off before it gets started.
