Bad deal or no deal? As Brexit discussions make little progress in Brussels are tensions within Theresa May's Cabinet undermining hopes of a successful departure from the European Union? A breakaway from the UK has taken a backseat somewhat among the Scottish National Party so can Nicola Sturgeon maintain momentum with a focus on other policy areas?

To dissect the numbers, Sky's Head of Data Har...
