Letter from EU Commission advising Scottish Parliament that leaving the UK also meant leaving the EU
The EU was clear on what would happen on a Yes vote - we would leave the EU - with all that entails; including a hard border with the remaining EU which at that time included the rest of the UK - the trading reality it was Brexit plus loss of UK marketβ¦.

..especially given the threat from the far right within and the need to focus on a closer Union, with consolidation and streamlining of internal processes and vetos before expanding further.

Brexit was huge diversion followed by the pandemic and now a recalcitrant USA. Thereβs good chance that it wil be a βnoβ to UK, Scotland (or anyone else) for the foreseeable futureβ¦

Indeed, agree it shouldnβt be easy: was really just making point that itβs not just a matter of Scotland trying hard; there were many warm words for Scotland when we left along with rUK, but I genuinely wonder if EU will be in expansionist mood in the short/medium termβ¦..

Spain would consider its position on Scotland in the EU if and when bid arises
Foreign minister suggests contingency plans are being made for Irish unity
Independent Scotland getting there βif we wantβ is only half the equation - Scottish exceptionalism is as dangerous as the UKβs! - what about EUβs POV? Does it have bandwidth to expand given other issues (security, Tariffs etc); will Hungary want us? Will Spain? www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

ALT: a man in a suit and tie says " serious people "
Keir's on the phone to Trump - a man he probably despises - trying to salvage the situation because he knows US military aid can be shut off overnight and you're all worrying about his tweets.
I'm sorry but
