The Scottish #ContinuityBill: legal and competent // A Lei de Continuidade para Escocia: legal e competente #Brexit #Scotland #ScotsLaw

We live in a Union where the UK Gov now feels free to refer Scottish Gov legislation they don't like to the Supreme Court as a delaying tactic, so they can then re-write the law to overrule that Scottish Gov legislation before it can take effect.#BetterTogether

This is an important vindication for @ScotGov - with the exception of just one section, the Scottish Continuity Bill WAS within @ScotParl competence at point of introduction. https://t.co/r3ApADS7ln

Shameless spin. The nub of today's decision? Elements of Holyrood's Brexit Bill conflict with UK legislation passed *after* MSPs voted through the Bill. The UK Supreme Court is clear the Bill was substantively lawful when passed. Bad law for these chumps = not having a 🔮. https://t.co/riB3xjwju1

Good point. Presiding Officer was wrong. However the Continuity Bill was legal at the time it was passed, but 'cos UKGovt changed laws BEFORE it became an Act, some of the devolved areas ceased to be devolved & therefore ScotParl now can't legislate on those things.  #Colonialism
