SCOTTISH Labour have insisted they were acting in the national interest and protecting devolution by voting for Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal in the Commons, while simultaneously voting to withhold consent for the agreement in Holyrood. There were angry scenes in the party yesterday morning after Richard Leonard seemingly sent out a press release setting out the party’s position without having first read it. The statement said their MSPs would be voting “to deny legislative consent to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal”. But then in a further release, sent out under Anas Sarwar’s name, that position had evolved. It said Labour MSPs would be opposing consent to express “deep dissatisfaction with the process in symbolic votes”.
