If we are surprised by anything at Salzburg you have not been paying attention.

The intensity of your shock or anger is a mere register of your lack of knowledge and understanding.

UK will be treated as Third Country as it departs EU, and Chequers unacceptable and not viable.

All Tory spin of recent weeks is how well Chequers has been received, then this over the top snarling statement which will win over nobody. Utter stupidity following on from complete self delusion. Disastrous.

The timely and stark warnings of the economic dangers ahead given by the IMF, the Governor of the Bank of England and the IFS must not be ignored no matter how much they are dismissed by Boris Johnson and his merry band of dangerous imperialists and Little Englanders who offer nothing by the way of alternatives other than a dream of a great deal of jam tomorrow ! Let sanity prevail and kick into touch the already divided and terminally hapless Tory Party .

I don’t see quite why it’s “incumbent” on Scotland to get behind May’s Chequers proposals when we know they are unworkable, are opposed by prominent Brexiters in the cabinet, and Scotland voted against Brexit in the first place.

So my farming friends, yesterday @NicolaSturgeon announces a £200 000 fund to boost sales of Scotch lamb, while the U.K. Gov hurtle is toward a Brexit scenario that keeps us out of our biggest market and courts huge agri exporting countries for trade deals. Who do you trust ?

BREAKING NEWS: following ongoing UK government effort, Taiwan is preparing to open its market to British pork for the first time. The agreement is expected to be worth more than £50m to British farmers over the next 5 years
is Shaw Retweeted Dr Liam Fox MP

This is a lie. The deal was negotiated by the EU, and the UK will not benefit after the 29th March 2019.

The EU has funded €43bn (£35.4bn) of investment into the UK over the past 8 years. Funding recipients include regeneration schemes, social housing, university investment, skills and infrastructure, many in areas that voted to leave the EU and hit the hardest by Tory austerity.

Brexiters have had 45 years to come up with a coherent plan for Brexit. Yet here we are, 8 months away from leaving the EU, and still there is no workable plan. And that’s why we are heading towards a no-deal Brexit - because any Brexit deal isn’t as good as the current deal.

Tragic to realise that the BBC is not as impartial as I thought it to be.

When Zimbabwe vote rigging is better covered than brexit vote rigging there's a problem.

The Brit Nat / Unionist parties have spent 50 years now reinforcing idea Scotland can’t survive economically as an independent country while sitting on a report showing an independent Scotland would be so rich it would be embarrassing. You really shouldn't believe single thing they say! Fake news Lochinvar ??Cum oan !

No deal Brexit ‘the only one I know how to achieve’, admits Liam Fox
The disgraced former defence secretary Liam Fox famously said a post-Brexit trade deal would be the “easiest in human history”. He’s now saying a no-deal Brexit is the most likely. So what changed? According to the man himself: I… err… may not have looked into this whole Brexit thing before the referendum.

Hypocrite personified:

2. #Brexit will be great for the UK - moves finances to Dublin.
3. 2011 - there must be 2 referendums on leaving the EU.
2018 - #Brexit is the "will of the people"

You've got to laugh; France, England's mortal enemy for hundreds of years, the reason the English dissolved their parliament to be the UK parliament in a union with hated Scotland, has Theresa May go begging to the French president to help her get a deal, any deal, out of the EU.

Mortal enemy for hundreds of years???? I suppose that's why we fought with them and for them in two world wars!

I think Colin the clue is in your use of the word HISTORY, most of us have moved on from the past. History is to learn from not live in.....

Colin, according to Oscar Wilde "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ...... but the highest form of intelligence". In your case, I would disagree with the latter part of the quote because, basically, I think that you are a bully and your sole mission appears to be to try and belittle and make fun of anyone's opinion if it does not agree with yours. I would have thought that all the red votes would have given you a clue that while most people on this site appreciate a good debate they don't like arrogant, pompous statements like yours!
Of course I know that England and France have not always been "friends" ( neither have England and Scotland for that matter) but I was referring to more recent history and our country's involvement in standing up to tyranny.

Truth Hurts
If it makes you uncomfortable
get comfortable.
If it makes you question it
ask more of it.
If you go beyond the foundation
build on it.
If it makes you say, "Naw, you are wrong
because such and such says."
Ask yourself, what or who are they to you?"
The things you hold true are nothing
more than LEGOs arranged a certain way.
Everyone has a but this,
Some of us question it without
running from it
Others tuck it away until it is time
for truth to be revealed.
Here is the reality,
my Lego house isn't any different than yours.
You step on one piece barefoot
we all say, "Ouch" the same.
How it got there is irrelevant.

The Conservatives have been accused of “economic murder” for austerity policies which a new study suggests have caused 120,000 deaths.
The paper found that there were 45,000 more deaths in the first four years of Tory-led efficiencies than would have been expected if funding had stayed at pre-election levels.

On this trajectory that could rise to nearly 200,000 excess deaths by the end of 2020, even with the extra funding that has been earmarked for public sector services this year.

Fake news? Come on Jimmie the saviour of the deep south can surely do better than that! Expect you are going to give a similar negative response to the antics of the Constitutional Research Council ( Tory secretive body ) who it emerged poured £435 000 to the pro Brexit Irish DUP in the Referendum campaign. Where did it go? To your favourite rag “ The Metro “ for a wrap around advert .So happens “ The Metro “ doesn't sell in Northern Ireland!

After 30 years of denial, the UK Treasury finally admitted that Scots had subsidised the UK by £27 billion (or £5,400 per Scot). Even before the oil boom, Scotland contributed much more to the UK economy than its other partners. This was kept top secret.

Oh Jorid surprised a bright lass like you falls back on the “ False news “ excuse ! Easy to use this when you have no logical response ! Suggest you “ Google “ McCrone Report which was “ hidden out of the way “ by the Westminster Government in 1977 as they did not like what it said ! 1977 ? Fake news ? Had not heard of such things in those far of days !

Just read that Michel Barnier has delivered the proverbial kick up the you know what to the diminishing band of Brit Nat Brexiteers with his powerful press release trashing the Chesters soft Brexit plan.He said the biggest risk caused by Brexit was in Ireland with the need to avoid a hard Border between North and South.
