“IT would be unfair to the people that they would be being asked to make a crucial decision without the information they need to make that decision.”

In uncertain and difficult times we should be “ working together not pulling apart”.

The union is “more than just a constitutional artifact. It is a union between all of our citizens, whoever we are and wherever we are from”.

So who said that and what we they talking about?

Tony Blair decrying the Tories driving through Brexit on terms the British people never voted for?

John Major or Michael Heseltine speaking about leaving the EU at a dangerous moment in world history?

Rob Wainwright, director of Europol, warning Brexit will make it harder for British police to fight crime and terrorism?

Tim Farron insisting that the British people should decide what to do when the terms of a Tory Brexit have been negotiated rather than the crucial decision taking place before the people have access to the information they need to make that decision?

No, it’s Theresa May lecturing Nicola Sturgeon on why unions are a good thing and why nations are unwise to go it alone.

What ridiculous and unthinking hypocrisy.
