Scotland tries to stop Brexit

The first minister said: "The Scottish government is clear that triggering Article 50 will directly affect devolved interests and rights in Scotland. And triggering Article 50 will inevitably deprive Scottish people and Scottish businesses of rights and freedoms which they currently enjoy. It simply cannot be right that those rights can be removed by the UK government on the say-so of a prime minister without parliamentary debate, scrutiny or consent."

    Chris Blackmore, I don't have a good read on British politics, but this seems more like the out that they've been looking for.

    Robert Rambusch Quite so. It has been loonies for most, if not all, of the parts of the last 60 years that I can remember.
