Good job it wasn't the DUP who walked out or Moaning Maisie would be up the proverbial (still time though).

Wonder why it’s unacceptable to refer to Nicola Sturgeon by other names, but acceptable to do it to Theresa May? Are you there, M.Poirot?

The EU must be loving this publicity from Westminster !!!

^Cooo, not many (as 'they' say). Made headlines on the Continent! The EU is abuzz!

Roman, there are a lot of maybes because we don’t know why there is a seven year limit. If we knew the reason we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the same way. Trust is a two way street. With NS constantly threatening independence and to (try) to put a clanger in the works of Brexit can she be trusted to do what is right for Scotland and not for her independence project?

The rhetoric coming out of Holyrood is NS shaking her rattle because she wants wants wants all the power she can get.

Personally I think she should be allowed to get on with it but without the extra precept she gets over and above that allocated to the rest of England’s population.

TTT to answer your question at 21:35, the Scottish government has NOT been autonomous since 1707 that is why devolution is so important. For the rUK government to now ride roughshod over the Scottish electorate is shameful.

Cassa, I accept that trust is a two way street, but so far in the Scottish negotiations between the Torries and Scotland trust has been eroded time and time again. At this point in time I would not trust the Tory party if they said today was Thursday! They have Broken so many promises that their word is now toxic!

[cassa333]

I would not trust NS in the least. She has always had independence as her goal and snaps and whines about it so much that even if an item of Scottish Parliament business was as insignificant as what colour and tog the loo roll in the Holyrood bogs should be she would have her eye on independence.

Such blinkered thinking is damaging.

"but so far in the Scottish negotiations between the Torries and Scotland trust has been eroded time and time again" - yes so much so that at the last election they booted out 14 SNP MPs in favour of Tories!
