First Minister Nicola Sturgeon:

"For Scotland, the question the #ITVDebate posed is this - why should we be content for either of these men [Boris Johnson/Jeremy Corbyn] to run our country and shape our future? We can do so much better than that."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon:

"All elections are important but this election really, really matters. At stake is not just the next five years.

The future of Scotland is on the line at this election."
Nicola Sturgeon: "I doubt there is anyone in Scotland who is not heartily sick of Brexit and the chaos we’ve seen played out at Westminster night after night.

But if Brexit goes ahead, all that will turn out to have just been the warm-up act."

Scottish Independence Poll

52% would vote for Independence (exc dont know)

Support among the young is strongest & likely to rise with each group of new voters in that trend
Majority support up till approx age 50 in this sample
Pensioners still the group least likely to support
Scottish Independence Poll

Some Analysis: Solon (Commentator)

1. is absolutely blindingly obvious that if more people of 60 years and upwards where more engaged with directly and had some form of 'gauranteed confidence' in independence then yes support would be untouchable..
2. 59% support for remaining in the uk at 65+ is out of sync with younger people from 50 and below...it doesn't take a genius to work out worries about health, pensions and money will be a paramount factor for older voters...the Scot gov and parliament need to address that..

Right. As we slough off the excesses of the holiday season, here are my five 'known unknowns' about the coming #Brexit negotiation....

First up: Will Boris listen to business? 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…
.@BorisJohnson is, after all, the PM who (as my colleague @JamesCrisp6 revealed) memorably replied 'f*** business' when asked in June 2018 why fears of industry were not being given more consideration in Brexit...it was quite a statement, but it points to a key question. /2
@BorisJohnson @JamesCrisp6 Is the Boris Johnson who quit over the Chequers Deal and the inexorable slide to the EU's single market for goods, going to put his money where his mouth is - or was? /3

This is the most wonderfully over optimistic statement I’ve heard since someone last said to me “Palace are getting into Europe this season mate, trust me”.

thetimes.co.uk/article/a-deal…
There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Johnson is any closer to agreeing a #Brexit deal that can get through Parliament than Theresa May was. A few key points:
1. The deal (the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration) is exactly the same as it was when it was agreed almost a year ago. Every word, comma, semi-colon, & full stop is the same.

Here's all you need to know about applying for a @cheveningfco scholarship, how to get short listed, what to do to ace your interview and get your Masters from the UK fully sponsored.

How do I know? I am one of the youngest @cheveningfco scholars ever from Nigeria.

A Thread.
1. Chevening (pronounced CHEE-VNING) is the most prestigious scholarship in the UK. It is for people who combine academic excellence with leadership experience and potential. If you're book smart but not a visionary leader, the scholarship is not for you.

chevening.org
2. These are the most important things to note about the scholarship:

- Min of 2:1 in first degree
- Min of 2 years work experience (internships, NYSC, volunteer work COUNT)
- For ANY uni in the UK (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Wales)
- For any 1 yr Masters program

So.. back to the backstop: Clearly the official EU line is “We’re not budging. The #Brexit Withdrawal Agreement was signed off by Theresa May and cabinet. End of story.” And there is 100% EU sincerity they would love not to have to discuss the thorny issue ever again. But.. /1
Realpolitik means EU leaders know a new UK PM will mean new #Brexit arguments - and crucially - since the EU hopes fervently to avoid no deal - it means new mathematics in Parliament. EU will watch closely to see if new PM could carry a majority for a #Brexit deal /2
To be clear: I am NOT saying here that EU will abandon the backstop if faced with strong new UK PM. EU wants to protect its single market, protect GFA and protect member state Ireland over departing member UK BUT /3

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n
