Really.
If the majority of the UK wishes to be out of the Customs Union that should be sufficient. Why should it be held up by diddy regions?

And if diddy regions get a lock on exiting the Customs Union then we'll be trapped even more. Despite the fact that North West England has 33% more population than Scotland and 4x the population of Northern Ireland.
But in truth I hope for what I always hope for in by-elections, whoever is the incumbent party - a massive upset. We have too many ultra safe by-elections. This one is not ultra safe, but Peterborough looks more interesting, should we get one as expected.
Yaki dah ....

Miserable day. Fatigued electorate. By-election turnout tends to be lower in Lab held seats.

Every time a Scot says they'd rather Scotland be an independent nation its met with understanding and either polite disagreement or agreement. No shock, no outrage.
English independence should be no more shocking a desire than Scottish.
Go Pete
It's the continuing existence of the UK that simultaneously denies the English a political identity, and gives England a feeling that it doesn't belong in an entity like the EU.
Do the Tories have a majority of 60 in Parliament?
I couldn't care less whether Wales or Scotland are in the EU or not but either way we should have a free trade deal with them.
I understand that I am not the same as other Conservatives who are Unionists but then I am a great believer in individualism and not collectivism which is what draws me to the Conservative way of thinking in the first place. So I see no reason why I have to bend to Collective thinking.
I mean bearing mind Labour only won this with a 5,000 majority in 2017 so in the right circumstances it should be competitive for Con.
Doesn't look at a glance like anyone has been.
Looks like it will end up another mess up from Theresa May's Conservatives...

And yes, Amber Rudd, ha.
England could not conceive of the EU but in the same terms, and so if England was not dominating the EU then other countries must have been doing so, and thereby dominating England. But the EU is a construct based on treaty law, just as we are seeing with the difficulties around the European Parliament elections, and so no country dominates it in the fashion that England dominates the UK.
It wouldn't shock me if there was a net swing from Labour to Tory, but I wouldn't have thought it would be enough to win.
You may call yourself a turnip if you wish but I would deny your viability as a root vegetable. Similarly you may wish to assume the rigour of a Conservative but you fail in the most fundamentals of the British Conservative - the belief in the Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
No one is voting LAB any more as they are official REMAIN party!

I never claimed exclusive rights to it. The definition of "ours" is something belonging to the speaker [myself] and others. The Scots are within the others since 1707.
Basically, permanently trapped inside another power’s customs structure, with a veto to nationalists who by definition wish to dissolve the Union.
I think if we go for this, it really is curtains for the U.K.
