AFTER an ill-fated attempted to woo Scots with her draft Brexit deal, Theresa May has finally given up.
That's right. She's tried every trick in the book, including calling out the 'big guns' in the form of David Mundell, on a trip north of the Border which broke the ministerial code.

Exhausted after months of campaigning for the biggest act of national self-harm in the UK's modern history despite not voting for it, the Prime Minister has come clean to Scots.
Addressing the nation of St Andrew's day, she explained why the Tory government "couldn't afford for you to vote for independence" having "frittered away the cash from North Sea oil and gas".
She also expressed her pride at "the austerity my Government is delivering for Scotland".
Well, not quite.
Those words were actually produced by pro-indy activist Sarah Mackie.

We suspect some Tories might actually quite like this speech...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
