It’s the weekend after ‘Brexit Day’ – a time when the UK should have left the European Union and the country should have been contemplating its future – and, if anything, the chaos at Westminster has got worse.
With No Deal looming as large as at any time in the process, The Herald on Sunday decided it was time to speak out, to demand that MPs set aside party politics and personal power games and work together – for the good of everyone.
Our take on the famous Trainspotting ‘Choose Life’ poster is a simple and very striking way to get the message across – and it’s the perfect introduction to a hard-hitting Brexit report inside.
As well as our own analysis of what should happen in the coming days and weeks, and news of a day of protest and recrimination across the country, we have exclusive comment articles from SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford, Scottish Tory MP Donald Cameron and, of course, Iain Macwhirter.
Brexit Comment:
- Ian Blackford: Why we must protect Scotland's interests
- Donald Cameron: Why it's time for the Tories to consider a Brexit 'Plan B'
- Iain Macwhirter: As Theresa May goes down for the third time, the road to Brexit just got a whole lot longer
- Paul Hutcheon: Revoking Article 50 would be fair to Remain and Leave voters
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
