Re Scotland, for now all we have to go on are repeated statements that HMG intends to honour the SNP’s statement that the 2014 referendum was a “once in a generation, if not once in a lifetime” event, even if the SNP is trying very hard to forget.

However, even if that were to change, there wouldn’t be enough legislative time to devise and run a referendum after the elections in May. So no, there absolutely won’t be a referendum next year, even if the SNP wins an outright majority of Holyrood seats on an outright majority of votes.

But we digress.
