The next independence referendum is the last chance saloon to protect Scotland from the surging right wing populism taking over the rest of the UK. Because as night follows day, after populism comes fascism.
Westminster voting intention:
BREX: 26% (+4)
LAB: 20% (+1)
LDEM: 20% (-4)
CON: 18% (+2)
GRN: 9% (+1)
CHUK: 0% (-1)

Inept. Incompetent. Simply unfit for office.

Would love to be optimistic about this but Labour have let us down on Brexit too many times. Colour me skeptical. #SecondReferendum bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-politi…
Sadly for the Independent Group, John McTernan's endorsement is like the kiss of death.
“I think the Independent Group have got a great chance of scooping those up”
Former advisor to Tony Blair, John McTernan, believes the Independent Group could be successful by taking Remain votes

Me when I hear someone who voted No in 2014 complaining about the state of the UK now.
Jo Swinson has learnt nothing from watching the PM negotiate Brexit.
Keeping us tied to the rest of the UK while we crash out of the EU is destroying our country.
Yeah... That's exactly what happened 🤦♂️

What is going on in #bbcqt? An audience member who harangues the panel on Brexit turns out to be UKIP parliamentary candidate for the City of Chester in 2015: Stephen Ingram. Do @MentornMedia not have a database of parliamentary candidates? If not time to take the prog off them.

🚘 @NicolaSturgeon “This is what the Tories used to believe: 'We believe decisions should be taken as locally as possible and powers should lie with politicians elected as locally as possible.'
I’m not sure when they change their minds on that.” #FMQs
Let's say it like it is. The bigotry in the Tory party isn't just reserved for fringe members like Rees-Mogg. It goes all the way to the top. #newsnight
"I think she's got a problem with immigration."
Anna Soubry MP tells #newsnight that free movement of people is "the only reason" Prime Minister Theresa May will not agree to a single market

It's not just Brexit the Tories are failing on. Scotland needs another path. news.sky.com/story/uk-on-cou…
Can see how the Tories are confused by Scotland having a leader who wants to promote our country overseas instead of trashing our international reputation 🙄

This says it all:
Anything new when it comes to #Brexit?
German Minister of State for Europe Michael Roth sums it up in one word...
Vince Cable pointing out the flaws of First Past the Post, an outdated system which restricts democracy to a binary choice. Thankfully the Scottish Parliament already has a fairer, proportional system which can let democracy thrive in an independent Scotland.
"It would be foolish" for Lib Dems to compete with Independent Group MPs in elections, says Sir Vince Cable - "we have to cooperate, there is a lot in common"

You've got to admire at some level taking a stance against your own party and leaving due to the disgraceful handling of Brexit and anti-Semitism. But it just underlines how broken the Westminster system is and why Scotland is so lucky to have credible alternatives. #TorySplit

Unusually heard a bit of #PMQs. Striking how symbiotic the May/Corbyn relationship seems - collusion of silence on their imploding parties, neither showing any leadership on Brexit and each one relying on the other’s incompetence to obscure their own.
