The Supreme Court will rule today on whether the Scottish Parliament has the right to announce a new referendum on independence without the approval of the UK Government Here's what you need to know ⤵️
If Holyrood wins following the Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday, Ms Sturgeon would continue to press for a repeat of the “gold standard” set by the 2014 referendum process.
Three Prime Ministers have already rejected MS Sturgeon’s request for a section 30 order since she first made one in March 2017. If the court rules Holyrood cannot hold a referendum, hopes of a vote without Westminster consent are dashed. It could lead to Holyrood to push ahead with the legislation and fight a Supreme Court challenge after the Bill’s passage.
