Scottish judge agrees to pause Scottish legal challenge to UK Gov ban on Palestine Action

Lord Young granted a motion from UK Gov to sist (pause) Scottish judicial review of the proscription; the case will not proceed until that in England has run its course.

Scottish courts' deference to London undermines the distinct role of Scotland’s legal system & makes mugs of Scottish citizens

I really hope Swinney has something more in mind than 'ask them again'

At least Westminster's 'once in a generation' excuse is nearing it's use by date

See also Wes Streeting's potential and Keir Starmer's current 'Labour' policy on reform of the NHS. F*ck those c***s as well #ScottishIndependence #IndependenceIsNormal
@JackTheCat Independence for Scotland is not the preserve of just one party. While the SNP and the Greens place independence front and centre of their politics, anyone else is welcome to join their belief that self-determination for the people of Scotland has to be better than the shambles we see year after year in Westminster. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@JackTheCat

Excellent!

Good to hear John Swinney also speaking about the independence issue straight away

Dear SNP and Scottish Greens - you've got your Indy mandate. Don't f*ck it up. Put egos on the shelf until we get through this. #IndependenceIsNormal #Scotland

@JackTheCat I'm wondering if there's a chance of NI, Wales and Scotland working together to bust up this useless 'union'?

I hope I misheard this, but I think someone on BBC Radio Scotland just announced that only 10% of the Scottish public believe that pro-Independence majority at Holyrood is a mandate for an independence referendum. Majority obviously doesn’t mean what I thought it meant.

Maximise pro-indy MSPs. Reduce Unionist MSPs. Block Reform UK becoming the official opposition. Increase chances of an SNP/Greens government where the Greens pull SNP to the left, and the SNP helps keep the Greens feet on the ground. What’s not to like?
