Didn’t say when, but it’s only a matter of time after Scotland being dragged out of the EU against their will.The current U.K. Government won't allow one.
Is it a real possibility that Scotland could vote for independence?Didn’t say when, but it’s only a matter of time after Scotland being dragged out of the EU against their will.
Yes.Is it a real possibility that Scotland could vote for independence?
One of the key arguments against Scottish independence when the last referendum was held was that Scotland would have an issue with regard to EU membership. Therefore many voters opted to vote against independence so that they could stay in the EU.Is it a real possibility that Scotland could vote for independence?
Exactly that. Johnson is full of hot air as usual claiming that a vote Scottish independence is a "once in a generation" type situation. And the counter to that is precisely the fact that what swung the vote in favour of remaining in the Union was that Scotland would have to apply to be a member of the EU in its own right. Johnson and his ilk effed that up for the whole UK so there is no question at all that Scotland should be entitled to vote to leave and all the Brexiteers should be rejoicing at their ability to do so IMO, not finding weak excuses to deny it.One of the key arguments against Scottish independence when the last referendum was held was that Scotland would have an issue with regard to EU membership.

I remember the banks far more of an issue than EU! It was the reason why scotland stayed! Because the banking system was set up to separate from UK and business with their loans and other things from UK banks and currency and all that financial stuff was the main reason. Voting against independence was all about how to divorce from UK without really being independent financially and with currency not a vote to stay in EU. EU does not provide solutions to divorce from UKExactly that. Johnson is full of hot air as usual claiming that a vote Scottish independence is a "once in a generation" type situation.

If only there was a way for all this to be avoided.....

I am a bit sceptical about this. He may still have some long term health problems, but when you write that someone is still really ill, I would imagine that person to be bed bound on a ventilator, which he clearly isn’t. His health problems don’t seem to be such that he would not be able to live ‘normal’ life.Finally the UK’s de facto prime minister is gone
I spoke to a friend yesterday who has athat works as part of Johnson’s security that says he’s still really ill from the crud and he has long crud but they don’t want to make it public.
Who has the long term crud, Johnson or Cummings?Finally the UK’s de facto prime minister is gone

The UK and EU have reached agreement on how rules in the Brexit divorce deal relating to Northern Ireland's borders will work in practice.
The two sides have reached an "agreement in principle" on issues including border control posts and the supply of medicines.
The government says it will now withdraw controversial sections in its Internal Market Bill.
The bill had threatened to jeopardise ongoing post-Brexit trade talks.
The details of the agreement have not yet been published, but are expected to be rubber stamped before the end of the month.
They will apply regardless of whether the two sides agree a deal to govern their trading relationship after the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December.
I work for a freight forwarder/logistics company, and the cross-border paperwork -- coding, ID numbers, valuations, proving origins -- is just about to become a lot more complex and expensive.
We have the most ridiculous situation where we need to have an EORI number to import goods into the EU. We have an EORI number because we are currently in the EU. That number will no longer be valid on 1st January. We have a branch office set up in France now to help things along, but a company cannot have two EORI numbers so we can only apply for a new EORI number once the old one is no longer valid. We've known this for a year and talked to trade bodies, government departments and nothing has been done to try and sort this out in advance so who knows how long it will take to get a new number.I work for a freight forwarder/logistics company, and the cross-border paperwork -- coding, ID numbers, valuations, proving origins -- is just about to become a lot more complex and expensive.
Some things never change.There is literally no advice because the government don't have a clue.
