& #39;Team UK& #39; sounds kind of hollow at this point. https://twitter.com/hendopolis/status/1391142772820873219">https://twitter.com/hendopoli...

Scotland had a referendum in 2014 and with a wave on support increasing they had more than a foot out of the door.

Then we had a referendum in 2016 where they said that if we left the EU, it would reopen the matter.

We voted knowing it would do that. https://twitter.com/AlStewartOBE/status/1391100404939862019">https://twitter.com/AlStewart...

People wanted to go ahead with Brexit and now we all have to be prepared to live with the political consequences.

England had 3 votes on it, and 3 times they voted that they cared more about the sovereignty of the union than the actual union.

How messed up is that?

A theoretical political concept was more important to the English than the people in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

I don& #39;t remember a single English politician saying that maybe we should consider what was best for the union and that we should regain some perspective.

I don& #39;t remember one person in the media interviewing those politicians saying that they need to cut all this & #39;sovereignty& #39; crap and start focusing on the real problems we were facing.
