So the question is will the Maoists running the show in Brussels succeed in breaking up the United Kingdom? They don’t even try to hide the fact that they’d love to see Scotland and Northern Ireland break away...because that’s just what Maoists do!
Furthermore, the communists support Brexit
It is precisely because we want an alternative to Britain’s crazily unbalanced and financialised economy that we, the Communist party of the UK campaigned for Britain to leave the neoliberal EU and in doing so free ourselves from the anti-union judgments of the ECJ, the restrictions on state aid to industry, the obstacles to public ownership and the drive to militarise the EU.
But beyond this we are fearful that in breaking the bipartisan pledge that the Brexit vote be respected, Labour will lose for generations more the trust that the Blair government betrayed and which the Corbyn team has so painstakingly rebuilt. A betrayal of the Brexit vote will supercharge Ukip or worse.
The EU is an irreformable instrument for impoverishing the continental periphery and the working people of each country to the benefit of a predatory class whose wealth increases with every one of capitalism’s succeeding crises.
Communists want a People’s Brexit. Unconstrained by EU treaties, single market rules and directives, a left-led Labour government could develop a worker-led industrial strategy; aid industry, invest in training, youth and jobs, social welfare, housing, education and health services; and take the transport, energy and postal service profiteers back into public ownership.

The majority of Scots voted to remain. They've felt put on by Westminster for decades and the move for independence is high. It helps the EU to have another English speaking financial center (after Ireland) no doubt, but it's not going to push too hard or else Spain and France will squeal (think of the Basque region)
NI - again, the majority of NI voted leave. The only thing the EU wanted was for the RoI not to be squeezed by the UK and for the Good Friday agreement to be respected - both of which have happened. This deal leaves NI borderless but NI remains in the UK - everyone's happy
