With Theresa May in charge and ceding so much power to the UK version of our #MAGA brainiacs, the UK is fucked. The way forward is categorically ruling out a “no deal EU exit” and holding another referendum on EU membership. She can’t do it though because her majority hangs by a thread which gives the lunatics all the power. I mean, she could – but that would take political guts, and when it comes to political guts, May makes John Carney look like Martin Luther King.
Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that the fact that “a handful of DUP MPs held more sway over Scotland’s future than our own national parliament” demonstrates more clearly than ever that the case for Scottish independence
Sturgeon said that May and her government “should be hanging their heads in shame” after the outcome of the vote which she described as “entirely predictable”.
Calling for May to rule out No-Deal and call a second EU referendum, she added:
Ruling out no deal and extending article 50 would stop the clock on Brexit and enable another referendum on EU membership to be held. We will support any such referendum, provided it has the option to remain in the EU on the ballot paper.
Scotland’s needs and voice have been ignored by the UK government throughout the Brexit process, and today a handful of DUP MPs held more sway over Scotland’s future than our own national parliament – that demonstrates more clearly than ever that the case for Scotland becoming an independent country has never been stronger. We will continue to stand up for Scotland and to reflect our nation’s overwhelming vote to remain in the EU.
