Five judges - who have spent the last month examining 8,000 pages of legal arguments - are set to deliver their determination at 9.45am today.If the Scottish government wins, activists say it would essentially trigger the beginning of a referendum campaign.to table the draft referendum bill at the Scottish parliament, where it would pass because the majority of MSPs are independence supporters.
Downing Street would feel its position has been vindicated, but Ms Sturgeon is likely to argue it is an attack on democracy and"proves" Scotland is"trapped in an unequal union". Her ministers say it would be a"de-facto" referendum; their opponents say they will boycott any such scenario.Another possible outcome is the court decides it is unable to rule on a Holyrood-created referendum because the planned legislation is still in draft form.And even though UK government lawyers urged the judges to hold back on ruling on hypothetical scenarios, they might decide to offer a view to clear things up once and for all.
She insists her party has a mandate to test the electorate on the question of independence on 19 October 2023.Successive prime ministers have said the 2014 vote was decisive, and the SNP should instead focus on improving domestic challenges in education and the health service.There has been a deadlock between Holyrood and London for years.
Stop bumbling back and forth McLeish. Just admit you are a unionist.
Typical unionists telling Scotland what to do completely forgetting Scotland has voted SNP SINCE 2007 and unionists trounced.. From a has been its hilarious
Sky News showing once again is no less biased than the BBC. Nothing but a unionist propaganda channel.
Totally agree the SNP is compromised Nicola Sturgeon refused to say if she knew about corruption Hundreds of people on social media are openly discussing an outlandish conspiracy usually come true theories about the First Minister
Henry is a professional fence sitter. Unionists will always claim that 'now is not the time'. Can they describe a situation when 'Now is the time'? No, they can't/won't, so surely its up to the people to decide after they've elected a parliament in favour of holding indyref2?
Remind me the last time Labour was in control of Scotland and relevant in debate?
Yesterday's politician from a party Scots no longer votes for telling Scots how they reach their potential. LOL
Go on Scotland. They were dragged out of the EU. They’ll do much better without the Tories 👍🏼
Hello, Scottish people has the right to decide to leave or stay in the UK as the British people had the right to leave the UE 🇪🇺. Cheers, Mr Lionel Ramsal 🏴

If Scotland gets IndyRef2 Yorkshire, under her Historic boundaries in God's Own Country; Should be given a Yorkshire Devolution Referendum to establish a Yorkshire Parliment. Yorkshire needs Independence from England to bring us all to the level of Scotland&Wales OneYorkshire
