  1. “The inquiry was shown a Cabinet Office briefing paper written by Mr Gove ahead of Mr Johnson’s trip.

    It reported that polling that found 27% of Scots thought the UK government was putting the right Covid measures in place, whereas 70% thought the Scottish government was doing the right thing.

    The risk to the future of the union was described in the paper as the “greatest challenge” facing the UK government other than the pandemic.

    It added: “Unfortunately it is in no way lessened by the parallel demands of the epidemic and our economic recovery.”

    It said that in the lead up to the Scottish elections the following May, “protecting and strengthening the union must be a cornerstone of all that we do”.”

    Right-wing tactic number 1: Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.
