Tom Tugendhat has warned that the end of the Union would “destabilise our whole nation” after new polling showed increased support for Scottish independence.
The Brexiter MP argued that a vote to leave the United Kingdom would “leave families in trouble as our economy faltered” – a prophesy that appears to be already in motion in regards to the UK’s split from the European Union.
He also said it would “undermine our ability to help others” making our allies “weaker and our enemies stronger”.
Funny, some of us were saying much the same about the European Union. https://t.co/36TIlXjx4F

The undecided voters amounted to 7 per cent.
When they are included in the statistics, support for independence is well to the fore at 50 per cent to 43 per cent.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
