Daily Record, 25 June 2016, fair use
Centrist Scottish unionism was built on four pillars: the press, political parties, business and Britishness. Each of them seems to be crumbling. The chances of the Yes campaign winning a second independence referendum look higher than ever.
Today, the Record front page backed a "2nd Indyref". The Herald, too, has said that such a vote is ‘justified’. Neither spells out what position they would take if it goes ahead, but it is clear that Scotland’s most important tabloid and broadsheet have both softened significantly to independence after Thursday’s result.
