At #PMQs Kemi Badenoch claimed that she personally blocked the GRR Bill. But s35 of the Scotland Act hands the veto power exclusively to the SoS for Scotland. Either Badenoch has misled the House or s35 was/is interpreted as a veto power for ANY UK Gov minister

Many thanks to @uofgpolicy.bsky.social for the invitation to contribute to this afternoon’s workshop on the challenges of devolved law-making following the UNCRC case. It was an engaging discussion, exploring how the devolved policy sphere is navigated and the implications for future legislation.

This is like watching a dumbstruck theatre cast member being handed their lines during a performance. The only difference is that parliamentary debate shouldn’t be so blatantly scripted.
