Yes, it's all starting to get rather "interesting" now following on from the racing certainty that the Tories are going to make a complete balls-up over Brexit.

However, apart from the pathetic walk-out by the SNP (cupid stunts as only they can be), whose sole purpose in Westminster seems to be to pick a fight with the Tories and the House of Commons processes, Westminster can't do much more at the moment. The SNP MPs should be sent back to the playground where they obviously belong. Oh, the hypocrisy of the SNP who claim to be "standing up for Scotland" when they are only too keen to stage a walk-out instead of standing their corner.

The fact that the SNP's complaint of a "power grab" by Westminster can't possibly take place until the UK formally leaves the EU (whenever that might be) and even then they are ensuring that Westminster will put Scotland at the end of the queue when those devolved powers are due to be given back. Just in case anyone is unsure of the situation, it's the UK that is a member of the EU, not Scotland, so the powers currently held by the EU must be returned to the UK. I also find it strange that the SNP complain bitterly about a Westminster "power grab" but apparently have no quibble about the EU having those powers just now. But there again they are only interested in separation, nothing else matters to their narrow minds, even although they claim that only the UK is inward looking.

I believe that Scotland is ready for independence but I despair at the current SNP hierarchy's hypocrisy and deliberate awkwardness. They're not fit to run a country mile, never mind a country.

I totally agree with Jim about the Supreme Court. They only have jurisdiction over England and Wales, not Scotland. The Tories are also going to make a balls-up of devolution - just a continuation of their current inability to get anything right.
