England, N.Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brexit

England, N.Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brexit

The Government is appealing against a High Court ruling that MPs must vote on triggering Article 50. The Scottish and Welsh Governments’ senior law officers will also take part in the appeal. Further, an ancient Scottish ‘Claim of Right’ is to be used - triggering article 50 without MPs’ vote would be in breach of a Scottish 1689 ‘radical revolutionary tradition’ that has been ‘enshrined in Scottish law for more than 300 years’. Northern Ireland’s Attorney General is expected to take part in the court hearing, increasing the chances that the cross-border deal with the Republic of Ireland in the Good Friday agreement will also become part of the legal argument. We can pray that the activation of Article 50 and Brexit deadline will align with God’s timing and that the influence of the Scottish Parliament, Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies, every Court Decision and vote of Parliament will come together in God’s timing.
