Wait a minute, the SNP were trusted with secrets and then kept their word? – Michael Mckeown Russell did the right thing by sticking to the agreement under which he got the papers. Wee Paddy Harvie starting to realise that he’s maybe not the political behemoth he thought. – Discless But Patrick Harvie and his Greens will still support the SNP in Holyrood and keep this minority administra­tion in power. Hypocrites. – Hazel Smith I can’t believe the SNP has not used this privileged informatio­n to sabotage the UK’S Brexit negotiatio­ns. They are not honourable in any of their dealings, so I have my doubts that they are as upstanding as they claim. – Agnes Angry The UK will take back control of its borders and its laws. As for the EU it will implode within the next couple of years due to arguments about how much the other net contributo­rs will have to pay to plug the hole left by the UK. – Joe Smith
