All the uncertainty has already tanked the scottish economy, name one big employer, I mean the ones that are there not the ones who decided not to invest.
Scotland already receives more UK government money per capita than anywhere else.
Currency ? Scottish pound.
Govt borrowing rates ? Enormous
UK debt share ? Enormous
EU membership, if and when ? Romania has 20M people, how often do you hear them mentioned in the EU, Scotland has 5M
Long list of things where the pursuit of independence takes precedence over. Every political issue must be manipulated and end with the statement 'it would be different in an independent Scotland'.
Sturgeon focuses on the big issues like LGBTQ rights for rapists but the small issues like the drugs epidemic and infestation and having several drugs capitals can wait till next year. She wants Scottish independence so she can retire happy and spend the rest of her life in Europe and the ROW (not England)
IMHO she wants to be the first elected president of an Independent Scotland, the problem is I foresee her behaving like Mugabe in Zimbabwe. I believe there is a proposal to make the Barnett formula fairer, but she would see that as an attack on her and the SNP At last... good riddance to the krankie

Thought there might be a bit more chatter about the new Brexit deal. Would it be fair to say:
- TM couldn't get a deal
- Boris got a bad deal
- Rishi got a better deal

Gosh, even if I was an arch remainer I'd find that very dry.

"The government said the agreement was the UK's "biggest trade deal since Brexit"."
