Scotland cannot hold second independence vote says Supreme Court

Scotland will not be able to hold an independence referendum without the consent of the UK government.

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to call for a second vote to leave the United Kingdom, as this power is reserved for Westminster.

In 2014, just over 55 percent of people in Scotland voted to remain part of the UK - but campaigners say since then, a host of factors, including Brexit, had pushed national opinion towards independence.

Scottish Independence Court Ruling

The Scottish Government does not have the legal right to hold an independence referendum, without the consent of the UK government.

That was the ruling of the Supreme Court, in response to plans by the Scottish National Party, to hold a second independence referendum.

The Scottish government had argued a referendum would fall within its devolved powers…

…but the UK government argued it was a so-called 'reserved matter', which includes areas such as defence, foreign relations and issues relating to the constitution.

The ruling was announced today by Lord Reed, the President of the Supreme Court.

EU Commission proposes gas price cap to curb extreme spikes in energy cost

The European Commission has unveiled plans for a tool to curb extreme spikes in gas prices.

Under the proposals, month-ahead gas transactions on Europe's main gas exchange would be capped at a price of 282 US dollars per kilowatt hour, when prices rise above that level for two weeks without a similar hike in global markets. 

The continent has been embroiled in an energy crisis for months as it seeks to end fossil fuel dependence on Moscow. Gas prices in Europe peaked in August at levels around ten times higher than those recorded in the first half of 2021.
