Alex Salmond has launched an attack on the legitimacy of the Supreme Court after it ruled against Nicola Sturgeon's plan to hold a second referendum on independence later this year.
The former SNP leader used a speech in France today to warn the repeated refusal to allow an IndyRef2 was turning the UK into "the rogue state of Western Europe".
And he accused the Supreme Court of being "a recent and artificial political construct of largely self-appointed and totally self-interested judiciary".
