It's been an utterly abominable 24 hours for Brexit news:
- The UK gave up on negotiations to extend our trade deal with Canada, leaving us worse off than when we were an EU member

- New incoming border checks will add £200 million a year to the cost of our food and drink.

- MPs were warned that the EU's upcoming ETIAS/EES border systems may lead to 14-hour queues to enter (the rest of) Europe from the autumn.

- There were warnings of possible shortages of flowers for Valentines Day because of the new incoming border checks.

- A plan to extend visas for British expats in France from 90 to 180 days was blocked by France's Constitutional Council court (a decision which has no right of appeal).

- Rishi Sunak's pledge to ensure no future laws can create a border down the Irish Sea has gone down like a bucket of sick in TUV quarters. (And has sent the blood pressure of the usual suspect Brexiters sky-high.)

- The EU's plans to increase bulk medicine procurement across the bloc risk creating shortages in Britain because they have very significantly greater buying power than the UK does.

Phew! That's a truly catastrophic batch of headlines for just one day...

There are no words to describe this utter shambles adequately. It’s beyond hyperbole - & parody.
Reality tho is that ordinary people are paying the price.
The interests of the Tory party should concern no-one right now.
A General Election is now a democratic imperative.
Disliking a political party and the damage its policies cause to the most vulnerable is a perfectly valid reason to vote against or indeed stand against them #detestthetories

Today it's pensions. Stand by for currency and borders. The Better Together tribe are girding their loins. We mustn't get played again this time.

The Tories can be removed from power temporarily at Westminster, but for Scotland there is only one way that will do it forever - independence.

📢 Scottish Independence is now significantly more popular than continuing devolution.

Since 1945, it is instructive to remember, the UK Government has only paid back about 1.7% of the debt accrued.
Nigel Farage asks how independent Scotland will pay the bills then closes the interview when @AngusMacNeilSNP points out the UK hasn’t paid its bills since 1945.

You need to know this about Liz Truss’ new economics advisor…
You just do
Because it looks like he’s totally comfy with people, actual humans, being…expendable
As detailed in his book entitled:
Let Them Eat Carbon
I’m not joking…

🏴 Independence can be seen as quite daunting for some. It’s a change, but change is needed for our future.
Scottish independence is a better solution than the current state of a government we’re in. Westminster does not work for Scotland.

And just to refresh our memories there you go.👇
Perhaps the Nine would care to do a belated news story?
