BREAKING: The UK’s highest court has ruled that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to hold a second independence referendum.

The UK Government, which is opposed to a second vote on independence, said it is ‘obvious’ that the Bill relates to a matter reserved to Westminster.

Shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray said the court’s decision should be respected – and insisted Labour could offer the change needed by the people of Scotland. Announcing the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision, the court’s president Lord Reed said that legislation for a second independence referendum would relate to ‘reserved matters’ and was therefore outside the powers of Holyrood.

‘Its outcome would possess the authority, in a constitution and political culture founded upon democracy, of a democratic expression of the view of the Scottish electorate.
