General Election as a Referendum on Scottish Independence

 

Having lost her IndyRef 2 case in the Supreme Court, Nicola Sturgeon has decided to fight the next general election solely as a referendum on Scottish Independence.

It's not as if there was any other question that Scottish voters might want to ask at all.


Meanwhile, the Tories have decided to allow Norfolk and Suffolk to enjoy a measure of devolution, (probably wisely) separately from each other. This seems to be based on the assumption that Rishi Sunak knows better than King Offa and Alfred the Great. The media are so wrapped up in the IndyRef2 story as to have barely noticed this: they may change their minds when they belatedly realise where the North Sea Gas actually comes ashore!
