The Scots can paddle their own boat it they want to I dont have a problem with that. The big downside is what are we going to do about a customs border which inevitably there would need to be, wether it becomes an EU member or not.

Sturgeon is cock a hoop at crushing Labour but has little prospect of a second referendum in the next couple of years, the climate may be very different then.

Corbyn would have agreed to another referendum in Scotland
and said in a speech in N.I. he supported a United Ireland.

That’s at the door of the SNP.
However, if Corbyn had got in with their help, Labour would have had to agree to another Scottish ref next year, and if the outcome had been a yes to independence, then Corbyn would have written the death certificate.
Doubtful that Johnson will agree to another indie ref for a year or two, if at all.If he does do, of course the outcome isn’t certain to be a leave one.

Results in Scotland and N. Irelnd indicate that those countries will not be happy to remain in the UK especially as Brexit bites. Can it be that the Conservative and Unionist Party has actually written the death certificate for the Union?
