Labour are already fucked by having to clean up the Tory mess from Brexit which will take the best part of a year. Why should they have to go straight to another referendum which will stop them from getting on with their program?

Get the Brexit stuff cleared up in 2020. Take a breather from constitutional stuff and if there is an Indy majority in May 2021 Holyrood elections then go for a referendum in 2022 or 2023.

1) How does signing a section 30 order delay the ending austerity program? Please be specific.

2) An indy majority, you say? I thought Labour's current position was that it had to be a majority SNP government at Holyrood? Can you confirm, please?

Whatever party you plan to vote for, you have to admit that Nicola Sturgeon is an absolute class apart in this debate tonight.

Calm, measured, honest and attempting to answer all points of all questions.

First class performance.

Correct. Even the folk who passionately claim otherwise must know deep down that she is streets ahead of any other political leader in the UK. No wonder her opponents hate the 'fucking cow'.

Fair play to the audience too. One or two a bit off with their grasp of the facts but all pretty grown up compared to what I was expecting.

Clearly Indyref1 and Brexit put other issues on the back burner. Indyref2 will as well. If Labour win an election they deserve some time to deal with real politics.

2) I'm not the Labour leadership mate, I can't confirm or deny anything.

Surely you think putting conditions on austerity is a scummy move?

She literally said one of the conditions of her supporting a minority government was 'an end to austerity'.

She also said she expected Corbyn to recognise the right of self determination.

So what's it to be ? An end to austerity and Indy ref 2, or a tory government and an absolute heads gone on here because she doesn't pass your personal Marxist purity test ?

So you think it's ok to vote down the Labour budget if Labour don't agree on Indyref2 in 2020 or 2021?

The Holyrood elections are the perfect time to take the temperature on Indyref2.

Obviously. Better stay in a union that votes Tory most of the time then eh.

If there is an opportunity to end austerity in January and it gets knocked back we might not get the chance again for a decade. Even if we get Indy the SNP plan requires more austerity so it would surely be better from the Labour position than the current Tory baseline.

People have had a boot on their throat for a decade, lifting and granting relief should be number one priority for anyone.
