BORIS should certainly resign, but his unapologetic performance from New York at lunchtime suggests he has no intention of doing that, so who knows where we go from here.

I do think there has to be an election or referendum at UK level, as this parliament has tried and tried to find solutions and cannot. If a General Election, it should be fought by an indy coalition in Scotland that have in their manifestos that a vote for them is a vote to dissolve the Union and begin negotiations for independence.

How they would deal with a “people’s vote” is less clear. What happens if there is a UK-wide Remain vote that agrees with ours? Does this lessen the clamour for indyref? What if it is the same result as in 2016? Do we get ignored again?

We need independence ASAP. Just think, if we had voted Yes in 2014 we could be sitting back and watching this without the danger of our lives imploding from this insane Brexit.
