I think we should all wait and see what comes out of the meeting first. Everything at the moment is all hearsay.
Funnily Sturgeon has just said she would reject it without even seeing it?

Breaking: cabinet meeting tomorrow.
I guess that's it then.

Just listened to some of the SNP conference. Sturgeon so full of threats, she reminded me of the Harry Enfield East End character, Angry Frank. Sentences all began...if Westminster think we will...if Boris thinks we're going to... if Jacob Rees Mogg believes he can...If Scotland is taken out of the EU... etc

I thought she was going to shout, "'ere, Boris, naaaaaawwwwoooo..."

A very angry speech, before telling conference what kind and fair-minded people the nationalists are!

This is going to be something to see.
Imagine you are one of the 120 labour MPs who's seats voted to leave.
Boris comes back with a deal and your Brexitier leader tells you to vote down the deal. And what's worse you have been on TV interviews for months saying you work for your constituents?

Surely Brexit isn’t the only issue voters are basing decisions on in these dreary northern dives?

If you’re a Labour MP and you think (know) that any form of Brexit is going to disproportionately **** off your poorest constituents, what do you do? Short term save yourself or long term help them?

You do what you believe is best for your constituents and for your country. The heroic 21 who stood up to the tory dictatorship should be applauded.

The SNP are a horrid bunch intent on causing problems in Westminster while going on a journey of doom for Scotland. I heard one thing she said about expecting Westminster to grant her a indyref 2 before the end of the year. I wonder what deals she will make with the Chukkas and Benns of this world?
 
Amazes me how many Irish experts we have on here when they couldn't even work out a leave/ Remain vote? Comical

Alex Salmond is going on criminal trial early next year for multiple rape and sexual assaults. If he goes down, that could be a huge spoke in Indyref2's wheels

I heard a Scottish expert on LBC who said the SNP would lose if there was one. Most don't want another vote...i know how they feel.
 
If there's a Brexit deal, I doubt the SNP would win. The irony is, Sturgeon's best hope for Scottish independence is a No Deal on Brexit
David Davis thinks this new deal will please enough people to get through parliament.
Funnily on another note many in the EU were saying recently that it stops no deal. I get impression that they buckled at the end.
