Whether you are for or against independence, most of us would agree that the decision to leave or stay in the United Kingdom should rest with the people of Scotland.
Yet, as things stand, that fundamental democratic right is now being denied by a Tory Prime Minister who could not even win an election within his own party and tumbled into No10 Downing Street through the back door after the Liz Truss shambles fell out the front.
The Supreme Court ruling made it clear that Westminster is firmly in control of Scotland’s future as a nation, regardless of what the electorate think. We know for certain that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to call a referendum without the prior approval of the UK Government.
