Don't read the comments...

Burnham has been staunch 'not at this time' - so we aren't really going anywhere. Proportional representation will change the picture, if Burnham can figure it out. A border poll in NI looking some way off still. And a welsh referendum on independence isn't even wanted by Plaid.

Lots of noise about these issues, with lots to blame about Brexit causing them. But here we are ten years after the vote and nobody can a) make brexit work or b) abandon England to it's fevered dreams of empire and glory.

And no sign of a general election next year, or holrood the year after. Making it pretty safe to write all this currently. It will be interesting to see how the next GE takes shape for all nations of the UK

Its an Opinion piece and the author seems Scottish by anyone's definition
