    I doubt that Labour costed that in.
    Is that true? Don't English students have to pay tuition fees in Scotland or at least pay more than Scottish students.

    Yes English students do have to pay fees in Scotland as do Welsh and Northern Irish students, because the rules state you have to treat other EU nationals as if your own.
    English are not other EU nationals.

    Ironically it's led to Scottish Universities practically capping the number of Scottish students they take, because the English ones bring much needed brass with them

    Yes I have voted. There was a mad rush when I arrived - four people at once!

    The officials were just doing their breakfast sausages. All very civilised.

    Voted - tactically, since I am in a fairly marginal constituency (majority less than 5000 in 2017, and the well-respected MP has now decided that she has had enough of that job). Not a nice feeling; I have to go back to 1983 to find a General Election where the leaders of both the biggest parties seemed so unappealing.

    That's just madness, but then when we leave, and little miss whatever her name is gets her independence and Scotland rejoins the EU then it will be free for my grandchildren.

    Scotland will struggle on their own.
    It's a small country with not a lot of revenue.

    I wish them all the best but we must have a hard boarder (a wall). And make Scottish note illegal tender in our country.

    Ha ha ha
    It wouldn't be our call so live and let live.

    Home rule for Yorkshire???

    There's a long tradition that after an electoral defeat, the losers talk about all the positives they can think of. So here goes:-

    1. Farage and his Brexit Party got absolutely stuffed.

    2. The Greens increased their vote, even with many of their natural supporters voting tactically for other parties.

    3. The Labour Party will now have the opportunity to find a leader with some leadership skills.

    4. Ditto LibDems.
