I heard that Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales leaders are planning to meet to break up UK. Is it really true? Anyone from UK here who can tell me what is actually happening there?

    not for a while. There are always calls for independence from groups there but Scotland had a vote to stayor leave a while back and they wanted to stay.

      Something they came to regret after brexit. I doubt the vote would be the same today.

        I haven’t looked at it recently but it was a close vote, like withing a couple percentage points.
        I doubt any of the current parties have the political capital to run the vote again in the near future.

          The Scottish wanted to do a new vote after the Brexit was voted in, but that was quickly shut down by the UK government.
