The 'suicide' furore is indeed a storm in a teacup, a red herring. The MSM has latched on to it in preference to addressing the real issue, which is that the Scottish Parliament, (with support from Labour, Liberal, Green and SNP MSPs) democratically, after much debate, voted NOT to agree to the passing of the Brexit Bill. This was principally because the SP could not agree to returning powers from the EU, being held by Westminster for up to 7 years, during which time Westminster would have full powers over normally devolved matters, such as farming, fracking, fisheries, NHS Scotland and many more.
During these 7 years, the UK government will , post Brexit, be entering into trade deals with non EU Countries, the biggest of whom being the USA. With the UK Gov, holding all the powers they will be able to agree to deals such as allowing American Companies to buy into the NHS (Currently NO privatisation in Scotland) introduce GM crops (currently banned in Scotland), allow Nuclear Dumping (currently not permitted in Scotland) and sanction Fracking by the big oil companies, which after much debate, petitions and protests is currently not permitted in Scotland.
This is the 'power grab' which is referred to by the SP. It is to this section of the Brexit Bill (re the holding of 'should be devolved' powers at Westminster that the SG refused to give its consent. This is the section that was 'debated' at Westminster on Tuesday, when the Minister, talked for the whole of the allotted time, with the speaker allowing no interventions, refusing to take the Labour amendment, which called for the transition period to be limited to 5 rather than 7 years. Thus no MP representing a Scottish Constituency was heard at all.
This now means that many previously devolved powers will be wielded by Westminster for up to 7 years (or more if they decide to extend it] with the SP unable to overrule any decisions or protect the existing Scottish Laws designed to protect our Country. As we have seen, even if all Scottish MPs at Westminster try to object, they can easily be out voted, shouted down, ejected, talked out.
The hard won devolution Settlement is now in tatters and all the benefits (environmental, educational, health wise,) that the SP has provided are under threat. It will in effect signal a form of Direct Rule and leave the Scottish Parliament as impotent as Scotland's MPs in the HoC.
Suicide? it has crossed my mind since Tuesday, but even self immolation on the floor of the Commons would be deemed a 'stunt' and a source of much hilarity from the, so called, Impartial speaker.
