Not sure that there is still a significant desire in England for Brexit. I think there were a large number of traditional Labour voters who swung the vote. They were clearly unhappy with the London Metropolitan elite who called them racist because they didn't agree that freedom of movement of people was actually working in their best interest.
Independence is very unlikely to die away unless Labour gets a big majority in Westminster and somehow they persuade the doubters about the value of independence that Scotland with a Labour Westminster Government will actually achieve more with some Labour MPs from Scotland. The default position of the SNP in Westminster to oppose and decry anything that the Conservatives have tried to do, IMO has been a complete waste of political power, especially when Theresa May had no political clout. The Ulster Unionist got something out of their collaboration with the Conservatives. I thought that there might have been something that they could have got to benefit us but they could not sacrifice their principles and perhaps that is something to be admired?
