Speaking to Dan Wootton Alan Cochrane, the former Scottish editor of The Daily Telegraph said it was “bizarre” that the prime minister would take her plan for a second vote to the Supreme Court. The veteran journalist claimed the SNP leader knew that if she asked her lawyer for permission to hold the vote, she would be told “sorry sunshine, you can’t do that”.
Mr Cochrane argued that Ms Sturgeon took the step of pushing for a second vote to “rebuild the foundation” of the SNP, which is “completely tired of her” for failing to deliver an independent Scotland.
He said: “Well, I think she almost explained it herself with her statement about how she’s going to try to rebuild the foundation of her party, which is fed up with not producing what she’s always promised them: an independent Scotland.
“So what she’s done with this is amazing and I take my hat off to her. It was a surprise.
“She’s going to present her plan to the Supreme Court, the highest court in the country, and ask them, ‘Am I trying to do something illegal?’
‘Now it’s bizarre that a politician would do this.
“We expected, we poor hackers in the Scottish Parliament and looking at the Scottish Parliament, thought she would ask her senior lawyer to rule on that.
“But she took it to the Supreme Court instead.
“I think like a lot of people she knows what the attorney at law would have said ‘sorry sunshine, you can’t’.”
