AM I the only one who smells a large rodent in Boris’s plan for a summit meeting on the Union with the devolved leaders? This from the man who steadfastly refused to allow such consultation even ahead of Brexit.

I cannot help feeling that, after such a meeting, he will announce what he already intended anyway, saying that it was unanimously agreed at the joint meeting, tying their hands and blaming the devolved leaders if they then disagree or things go wrong.

This could be the start of a cunning plan to distract with the promise of consultations while his covert minions go about their machinations to destroy the independence campaign and even Holyrood and the Scottish economy.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. As history shows, once they achieve their objective, the gifts vanish like snow off a dyke, just as the promises of the Vow did in 2014.
