Latest updates: Rishi Sunak refuses to say if he will withdraw UK from deal as MP proposes bill to remove asylum seekers
This afternoon three hours have been set aside in the Commons for a debate on an SNP motion. Normally opposition day motions just condemn the government, or propose a policy, but today the SNP has followed a strategy used by anti-no-deal MPs during Brexit, and also used by Labour in a recent debate on fracking, and tabled a motion that, if passed, would let it take control of the Commons order paper for a day.
The mechanism, which will seek to amend the Scotland Act 1998, will allow the Scottish parliament to legislate for a referendum and reject any attempts by Westminster to impose a roadblock on Scotland’s democratic journey to independence.That is a democratic reality that politicians at Westminster must wake up to.
The government and Labour are both opposed to another Scottish independence referendum now, and the SNP motion is certain to be voted down.
