Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Nicola Sturgeon to try and intervene in Article 50 Supreme Court case

Nicola Sturgeon has announced her government will attempt to intervene in the Supreme Court’s Brexit case and argued that the Scottish Parliament should have to consent to the triggering of Article 50.

The First Minister said Lord Advocate James Wolffe, Scotland’s most senior law officer, will lodge a formal application asking for leave to make representations in the controversial case.

If this is granted, he is expected to argue at the Supreme Court that the Article 50 process for leaving the EU cannot be triggered without a legislative consent motion (LCM) from the Scottish Parliament.

This would allow MSPs to block Brexit, with a majority of members in the Holyrood chamber vigorously opposed to leaving the EU.

Polls start closing at 6pm Eastern Standard Time (11pm UK time) in Indiana and Kentucky, and end at midnight EST (5am UK time) in Alaska.

Next up, polls in a further five states, including the battleground swing state of Florida, close at 7pm EST.

The busiest time will be after 8pm, when 20 states’ polls are closing. Swing states in this batch include Illinois and Michigan.

Finally Alaskan polling stations will shut their doors at midnight.

Barring any hitches, the result will be clear by midnight (EST) when the last state of Alaska releases its exit poll. Expect the result to be announced by around 4am GMT on November 9 (11pm ET November 8)
