    Read excerpt

    One headline after another. All about a border poll. Andy Burnham says no, and we all say “who does he think he is?”. To make matters worse, Micheál Martin agrees with him. Then Sinn Féin goes off to Cardiff to meet with the Scottish Nationalists and Plaid Cymru. Together, they declare that Westminster’s time is at an end. Westminster doesn’t appear to notice. This is exclusive subscriber content. Already a subscriber?
