Most Scottish Tories back Boris Johnson's 'illegal' plan to rip up Brexit deal

Andrew Bowie argued the Bill will help protect the Union

BORIS Johnson has cleared the first potential roadblock in his plan to rip up his own Brexit deal.

MPs voted by 295 to 221 to give a second reading to the Prime Minister’s proposal to ditch parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol. Conservative MPs, including Douglas Ross’s Scottish cohort, refused to vote against the move despite warnings it will break international law.
