By doing a really shit job on Brexit and Covid he has sent support for independence through the roof
Which maybe the case, but with the new brexit bill, it effectively takes away much of the SNPs powers and strengthens Westminsters grip on Scotland,As I said, Rightly or wrongly.
Besides brexit and our opinions of shit head Johnson... Sturgeon is a one trick pony that Scotland shouldn't blindly follow.
Internal market bill that's it
Either way, it's about time somebody put sturgeon back in her box... She's a clown
The reality is, Scotland can't play up every 5 or 6 years and westminster bows to them...it's not going to happen.If public opinion up there goes overwhelmingly in favour of it then Johnson would have to act like a dictator to deny them

Maybe sturgeon has done more damage than some want to admit, Westminster will make sure she doesn't get her vote for Many years yet.
In a sense that’s exactly what they’re proposing to do.Difference is they can't block an NI referendum unless they want to break the GFA, which admittedly isn't beyond them
I read, although could be wrong that the Lords can only delay it for 1 year.Peston has been tipped off from a senior Tory that the Lords are going to kill this bill. The Salisbury-Addison Convention apparently means that they have to hold the Government to account on their election manifesto and the bill contradicts their not even a year old election manifesto.

It could all well be a ploy to get a further year without upsetting his supportersCould be right . Extension anyone?
Can’t see them buying it to be honest. This is what happens when you take someone like Boris seriously.It could all well be a ploy to get a further year without upsetting his supporters

See Pelosi has come out and said if the withdrawal agreement undermines the GFA the UK can forget about a US trade deal.
The key word there is convention. It doesn’t carry legal weight. The government has a 80 seat majority to force the Internal Market Bill through the commons and potentially new legislation to deal with a non-compliant Lords. Which let’s not forget is an unelected house. The Lords can only defer legislation a couple of times.
Frankly, the Northern Ireland Protocol ought to be rewritten because it is messy for both the EU and the UK to govern. Won’t go into details, but I do quite a bit of customs work related to NI.
A backstop was certainly a simpler solution to the issue and probably less costly to the UK taxpayers.
There will be u-turn #54668 coming up then
The whole thing smells like a plan to try and force the hand of the EU
It's pretty silly then isn't it? Why don't they get it, it is not buying a car. It is trying to negotiate a withdrawal treaty that does not conflict with any of the EU's existing treaties. We are not going to get any special deals or exemptions unlike when we were a member.
The Supreme Court is also likely to nix the bill anyway.

It’s not that simple. In practice, once a legislation passes through parliament, only another act of parliament can reverse it. Our Supreme Court is not like it’s USA counterpart.
I think we all know Johnson will just push for no deal rather than upset America
You’re majorly underestimating the Irish-American lobby over there.I think we all know Johnson will just push for no deal rather than upset America
I think we all know Johnson will just push for no deal rather than upset America
You do realise that no deal will upset America as it will necessitate a hard border in N.I. you can't have your cake and eat it
Boris’ own sister said as much during the GE campaign. Something along the lines of Boris does not represent the voters he represents the disaster capitalist that have backed him to this point and a no deal Brexit suits them.It plays up for the brexiters though, I am beginning to suspect that no deal is what they want. Either that or they know their promised great deal is never going to happen so are laying the groundwork that will enable them to blame the EU for the shit storm the economy will become.
