EMMA BARNETT SHOW - BBC 5 LIVE: 9th December 2020

No deal or a low deal - I spoke about this to Emma Barnett on Radio 5 Live earlier. This is a deeply concerning time, especially for communities like those in East Renfrewshire which voted so strongly to remain in the EU. Not one local authority area in Scotland voted for Brexit, but whatever the outcome of these latest talks, taking place so very late in the day, there is no positive for Scotland in this.

Brexit will damage our communuties economically and socially. We all lose with this shabby bargain basement Tory Brexit. No wonder more and more people prefer the prospect of a different independent future with the potential to make the decisions which are right for people in Scotland.
