The UK will not survive this. The government's next order of business is to tear up the Northern Ireland Protocol. This unilateral breach of the Withdrawal Agreement reverts the UK to 'no-deal' status. i.e. massive economic pain when we have just gone into a downturn. This will be the straw that breaks Scotland away to return closer to the EU, and maybe even Northern Ireland too.
