#INDYREF2

Nicola Sturgeon has said people should “stop obsessing” about when the next Scottish independence referendum will take place. @Indyreftwo tweeted: “Nicola Sturgeon’s message is that Brexit will determine ‘when’ she calls Indyref2, in the meantime Yessers should concentrate on putting forward the case for ‘why’ we need independence. In other words, let’s campaign.” @SC0TNAT added: “Nicola Sturgeon knows the inevitable, Marr seeks to dwell on the improbable. But as always the FM is cool, calm & intelligent in her responses.” @Lukecorkeryfg posted: “There is already too much uncertainty and Brexit negotiations are tough enough as it is without Nicola Sturgeon constantly trying to push her nationalist agenda. The SNP prioritise independence over the issues that really matter to Scotland. They said no, they meant it.”

#GORDONBROWN

There could be a change of prime minister if the government loses a crunch vote this week on its Brexit legislation, Labour’s Gordon Brown has said. @fuzzfoster said: “I agree with Gordon Brown, but as they say even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” @graywoodhouse tweeted: “I actually found myself warming to Gordon Brown on Marr this morning and wishing he’d come back. How did it end up like this? Where is the centre left opposition?”

#G7

Shortly after Trudeau announced the G7 leaders had agreed upon a joint statement, the Canadian premier suggested Canada may retaliate to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs. @realdonaldtrump tweeted: “Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive tariffs to our US farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our US reps not to endorse the communique as we look at tariffs on automobiles flooding the US market!” @ddale posted: “The G7 countries found a way to come up with a joint statement that papered over their vast differences with Trump. Trump is now saying he’s rejecting the statement because he’s angry at Trudeau’s (quite restrained) news conference.”
