The one point I'm not getting is this ire about Scotland not being mentioned. I get NI's specific case because that's a bit more complicated but the rest of the UK is just the rest of the UK. Scotland is defacto mentioned when the UK is mentioned.

England wasn't mentioned either, was it?

Direct democracy has long been a dream of the type of technocrat/Sorkinite who thinks people are all perfectly spherical political objects, and they were pretty much at the peak of their powers worldwide between 9/11 and the GFC.
How did that square with post-9/11 politics being a mixture of authoritarian warhawks and we-know-whats-best-for-you politics while ignoring some of the largest protests in history?

Giving North Ireland special circumstances while ignoring the fact Scotland as a nation voted no to Brexit, is basically playing into the SNP's hands.

You're right in that the rest of the UK should be the rest of the UK, but when the rest of the UK's proportional vote is English, it makes things harder.

It's why the Union is collapsing.

There’s a long chain to it but essentially Corbyn is Labours leader because a Labour MP went off on one and started punching Tories in the Parliament bar.

I get this, thanks. I still find it a weird point of contention (and bad faith argument in general) to raise "we weren't mentioned!" in the house of commons. They could've made the point of Scottish interests not being represented by saying more along the lines of exactly that than some silly comparison with NI and other special territories. Like of course each country/territory in the UK is not going to get a uniquely catered Brexit deal.

Gove has been pretty vocal about moving to EEA membership. No way that's good enough for the lunatic membership. He's not gonna be leader. If he resigns, though, I'm fairly certain it's over for May.

My money is on Dominic 'The UK is an island?!?!' Raab to win. He'd be a total disaster, obviously.
