THE TELEGRAPH: Pro-independence first ministers will sign ‘memorandum of understanding’ at Cardiff summit and demand referendums
The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will gather on Monday to sign a deal designed to kick-start the break-up of the United Kingdom, The Telegraph can disclose.
At an unprecedented summit in Cardiff, the three first ministers will put pen to paper on a joint declaration demanding the right to hold independence referendums.
The meeting comes after Andy Burnham suggested to MPs that he would authorise another Scottish referendum if there were a “clear consensus” in favour of one.
The summit will come two days after Donald Trump declared that he would “love” to see a united Ireland. During a visit to Dublin on Saturday, he said Northern Ireland joining the Republic would be “a great thing” and asked: “How can it be bad?” » | Nick Gutteridge Chief Political Correspondent.

Bring it on! The English have so badly managed the UK economy over decades that these three Celtic nations would be able to achieve greater prosperity as independent nations within the European Union. Northern Ireland only has to join the rest of Ireland and become united anyway. England itself could join the corrupt USA as a US state under Trump. It would be welcome with open arms. Trump will take the English to the cleaners, and he might even steal the Crown Jewels to get himself crowned king, but the English will get used to it and I’m sure they will enjoy their new life in Cowboyland. — © Mark Alexander
