The daily ins and outs are confusing, especially to outside spectators, but we shed light on this now constitutional<span> crisis with British journalist and writer<a href="https://www.paulmason.org/bio/" rel="nofollow" title="Paul Mason"> Paul Mason</a>, and with political economist, journalist, and former SNP MP <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kerevan" rel="nofollow">George Kerevan</a>, who fills us in on the Scottish case by framing for us just how the United Kingdom came to this pass, how Britain has been massively convulsed by the internal divisions rocking the dominant Conservative (Tory) Party </span>— such that Boris Johnson, now in power, could be seemingly denouncing the very capitalist interests the Conservative Party was supposed to represent. Brexit didn’t create these developments, but it is the outward form in which these divisions are being played out — and we get both George Kerevan and Paul Mason’s analyses.
