On that, we agree.
Economics doesn't always work at the ballot box. The heart often conquers the head. Besides, the Republic of Ireland has shown a small country can end up thriving outside the UK and I don't see it clamouring to re-join.

Boris's solution is a bit of an unknown. Is it to play up the UK roll-out of vaccinations? Is it to build a tunnel to Northern Ireland? Is Labour's more devolution? Perhaps to give Scotland many of the benefits of independence but still nominally within the UK?
