What was the point of the supreme court action in the opinion of your learned friends?
Probably something similar to the commentary from every single political pundit.
- It establishes that there is no mechanism for Scottish independence without Westminster approval
- It kicks the can down the road giving NS some breathing room, while keeping the SNP relevant at a time when there is a risk some voters may shift to Labour to remove the Tories.

What was the point of the supreme court action in the opinion of your learned friends? I assume they're civil servants therefore subject to the civil service code. For a civil servant to propose ultra vires legislation seems iffy to say the least. The supreme court case cost the taxpayer £250k. I'm sure lessons will be learnt.
The GR bill is legislation so it has everything to do with the law. The possibility of this bill even being subject to a section 35 order rather suggests that it was badly drafted. Your learned friends have clearly fucked up again.
