Another no brainer, the Scottish Tory Conference is on and the Scottish independence referendum is high up on the agenda.

"An SNP government interested only in stoking-up endless constitutional grievance and furthering their obsession with independence, at the expense of Scottish public services like the NHS and education"

Umm...Theresa...

"I can't help but feel that the SNP has a tunnel vision about independence."

Theres...

"A tunnel vision nationalism, which focuses only on independence at any cost, sells Scotland short"

You're the same with Brexit!!

A further collapse for the SDLP and UUP, the DUP look to be staying still whilst Sinn Féin increase their seat numbers.

The word "oops" springs to mind.

Martin Rowson on May and Sturgeon.

Two peas in a pod. The problem is the pod ain't big enough for both of them.

A bit of acon is this IMHO....the government starve local authorities of money then allow them to raise local taxes to maintain local services.

The hardest hit authorities are almost entirely Labour controlled.

I see at long last PM May has called Sturgeon's bluff on the second Scottish referendum, can wee Sturgeon land the big fish?

Moving across to NI the DUP will have to change their leader now as SF can not be over ruled any more or would the DUP risk it all on a possible another election.

I am amazed! House of Lord's seats are so relaxing you can drift into sleep.

Well, they say it's the best retirement home in Britain.

Still, considering the alternative, I mean look at the US Senate and Congress.
