Brexit bravado

There will be no surprise when Nicola sturgeon rejects Theresa May’s speech on Brexit.

Just as the Prime Minister is clear that we should not seek to be ‘half in, half out’ of the EU, it seems the First Minister is just as determined to try to exploit the Brexit result to engineer a second independence referendum.

as she continues to ramp up the rhetoric, painting the worst possible picture of the potential impact of leaving the EU, while continuing to remain silent on the impact of leaving the UK, the First Minister makes clear she seeks the break-up of the UK above all else, whatever the costs to the people of scotland.
