ON the BBC’s Sunday Politics programme, three times Tory MP Kirstene Hair was asked if she would support Theresa May’s Brexit deal. After much cringeworthy incomprehensible waffling, this aspiring Sarah Palin failed to answer.
When pressed to give assurances that the UK would be leaving the Common Fisheries Policy, again she could not answer. Hair, it should be recalled, did not vote in the EU referendum as the choice was “very difficult”.
Her colleague Sheryll Murray was unequivocal. She stated that the Brexit deal means the UK will be staying in the CFP. As a result of this Murray has submitted a letter of no confidence in Theresa May. Murray is also said she will vote against the Brexit deal.
Since David Mundell and Ruth Davidson both threatened to resign if Northern Ireland was treated differently from Scotland, then backtracked, we can assume the fishermen will too be sold down the river by the Tories.
On top of “Scottish” Tories’ empty posturing, Nadine Dorries is criticising the Brexit deal for not retaining any MEPs. The madness of Brexit is suddenly being exposed.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
