Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland

Rees-Mogg’s plan still means border checks and infrastructure, and turns blind eye to smuggling. EU would reject it outright.

New poll shows Wales now backs staying 51-49%. With pro-EU London, Brexit is becoming tussle between provincial England and rest of UK.

Scotland’s first minister has hesitated to back public vote over fears for indyref2. But People’s Vote precedent would benefit nationalists.

Some members of the party that props May up fear crashing out of EU could wreck Northern Irish economy and revive calls for unification.

May’s meetings with Sturgeon are becoming more tedious than a bad show on the Edinburgh Fringe. But Brexit impact on Scotland is no joke.
