Unforgivab­le

Labour will “never be forgiven” if Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal passes thanks to the votes of opposition MPS, SNP Westminste­r leader Ian Blackford claimed as he attacked the special Brexit terms extended to Northern Ireland under the agreement.

SNP MP Ian Blackford has obviously and typically forgotten that the SNP proposed to take Scotland out of the EU with no deal as a consequenc­e of a Yes vote in the “once in a generation” separation referendum. But the people of Scotland have not forgotten that the SNP proposed a no-deal Scexit as a consequenc­e of a Yes vote in the “once in a generation” separation referendum.

Ahm No Bluffin’ Why does Blackford bother coming out with an outburst like this? It’s nothing to do with N. Ireland and everything to do with the SNP agenda of trying to stop any Brexit deal. “Never be forgiven!” Why? And by Whom? The Labour Party are supporters of the Union and must be trembling at the thought of being “never forgiven” by the SNP.

S Mcduck Let’s try a spin on this: the SNP will not be forgiven if we don’t get a deal and fall out to no-deal. But then the justice of that would be, the SNP can’t spin their EU lie anymore.

Calum Mackenzie Let us not forget the lie about the handy guide leaflet that Nicola Sturgeon promised to every household in Scotland, this summer! The handy leaflet was going to explain everything about Isolated Scotland finances and currency. The summer is over and no sign of the leaflet and no explanatio­n given.

Roastin’ Why does no-one challenge the separatist­s when they start saying people were lied to in 2014 by the No side. I seem to remember on the Yes side, the lies told to get people to vote Yes: once in a generation, oil is a bonus, in terms of the debate, oil would be worth £300,000 per person after independen­ce...

Maybe Yes Maybe No Just heard Blackford on the radio again saying poor old Scotland didn’t vote to leave the EU, yawn

Be quite nippy It didn’t vote to leave the UK either. This hasn’t sunk in for Blackford in five years, can you imagine how long Brexit will take?
