Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have been holding Brexit talks
WHY are we even bothering waiting for England’s two main political parties to finish their negotiations? Neither will budge, they’ll end talks at an impasse, and we’ll continue the cycle of talks, votes and in-fighting until another deadline approaches and we realise we’ve spent three-plus years negotiating while making little progress.

I’m bored to tears by it. I’m also delighted these useless politicians are all taking a break and I can hopefully enjoy some Brexit-free news bulletins over the next few weeks. At the very least a minimal amount.
I can only hope!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
