AS the UK hurtles towards a No-Deal Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn has delivered a “major” speech outlining his plan to stop Boris Johnson in his tracks.
Speaking at a children’s centre in Corby, Northamptonshire, the Labour leader vowed to bring a vote of no confidence in the Tory government.
If it is successful, Corbyn says he will seek to form a “time-limited caretaker administration to avert No Deal” and will immediately call a General Election.
The speech was billed as the moment the Labour leader would “set out his vision to rebuild Britain”, so what would all of this mean for Scotland?
No idea – Corbyn didn’t mention Scotland once.
That’s right, in his landmark speech outlining his vision for the future, Corbyn failed to talk about Scotland at all.

He did at least squeeze in a few zingers, such as: “Not so much a No Deal Brexit more a Trump Deal Brexit.” Snappy.

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!
