They were told. But they can't issue a s35 until AFTER the Bill is passed and the Scottish Sec had no way of knowing what shape it would be in after stage 3. It might have been amended. This isn't complicated! https://t.co/8txMQG...

One reason for taking the second JR was to get this sort of clarity and force SG to say that they do believe GRA impacted the EA. They made the case for issuing a s35 order and have only themselves to blame. https://t.co/HVH8NX...

RT @alexmassie: This is, however, chiefly a legal argument. ā€˜The Scottish parliament should be allowed to act unlawfullyā€™ (if this proves to be the case) is not really the defence the SGā€™a supporters think it is.

Shona didn't listen. Scot Gov deliberately impinged on reserved legislation. They created the situation where a s35 was not only lawful, but necessary. #WeBackJack #WeBackAlisterJack https://t.co/0Iq8Ki...

You voted through a bill so full of holes that the UKG can now use itā€™s lawful powers to block it. As a legislator you failed to produce good legislation. Thatā€™s the disgrace here @GlasgowPam https://t.co/Ho1VXt...
