UK Cohesion Advisor quits after two weeks

Of all people UK Cohesion Advisor throws in the towel after only two weeks: Oliver Lewis explains his role is "untenable" as reported by the BBC. The government has not yet issued an official statement. From Scotland, however, there is malice: "Disagreement in the unity department. Or maybe despair of realizing how flimsy the pursuit is ", tweets Scotland's Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon. She had recently ordered that the EU flag should be flown next to the Scottish flag on Scottish government buildings every day, and not the British "Union Jack". Sturgeon's Scottish National Party calls for a second referendum on independence from the UK.
