@johunt speaks to the centrality of the internal market which provided a framework for devolution. The process of Brexit may leave gaps here.
@johunt stresses need for the further development of the UK’s internal market
No tradition in the UK of working together effectively, presents a challenge when we consider need for common framework says @johunt
Will there be an #indyref2 asks @McEwen_Nicola? If so, it will not be a rerun of 2014 as the context has changed.
Would the UK Government agree to another #Indyref, transferring the necessary powers to hold such a vote or as Theresa May said last year “now is not the time”? @McEwen_Nicola asks
Assuming Brexit happens, an independent Scotland would need to go through an EU accession process. Would this require another referendum? - @McEwen_Nicola
Independence will heavily be shaped by what #Brexit turns out to look like. @McEwen_Nicola
A hard Brexit will make the prospect of Scottish independence more challenging, echoing some of the debates around a border in Ireland, explains @McEwen_Nicola #BrexitWhatNext
Questions about Brexit process, diverging identities and concerns, and the role of parliaments. #Brexitwhatnext
What does Britishness mean in Scotland, Wales, and England? asks Dan Wincott.
